Why Install Solar Panels?

Solar PV panels use the sun’s energy to generate electricity. The electricity that is generated can then be used to power your home.

If you are generating your own electricity via Solar Panels, you can reduce your overall usage. Typically, this can see your electricity bill drop by between 40% and 50%.

Also great way to harness all of your electricity generation is through battery storage. This enables you to store any surplus electricity generated by your solar panels and use them when its needed most rather than sending it back to the grid.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good advice and pleasant team.  Numerous small and medium size jobs needed to get my aged mum's home safe and comfortable to enable her to continue to live independently.  Richard's team navigated communication and access challenges with ease.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a new patio installed by TessCon and are really pleased with the finished result. The work involved removing the old decking and levelling out the ground before laying porcelain tiles and installing wooden sleepers around the patio and planting areas.

The whole project took a couple of weeks to complete and the team did a great job throughout. They were friendly, approachable and easy to have around, and clearly took pride in getting everything finished properly.

The patio has completely transformed the garden and we’re really happy with the quality of the workmanship and how everything has turned out. We’d definitely recommend TessCon to anyone considering a new patio or similar landscaping work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We originally arranged a small repair with another company, but on the first day they told us the job would need to be much larger and quoted an extremely high price. Feeling unsure, we looked for another option — and we’re so glad we did.

This roofing company provided a far more reasonable quote and were honest from the start about what needed to be done. They completed the work in a timely manner, listened carefully to what we wanted, and kept us fully informed throughout. They also provided clear photos of all the work completed and explained both what was required and what had been done, which gave us real peace of mind.

We are very happy with the results and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, straightforward and professional roofing work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am happy with Tess Contractors and will use them again for sure. I contacted them a couple of weeks ago regarding my Garage Roof Leak and they responding promptly.

- They were polite and professional.
- Their pricing was fair - I did have other quotations so could compare.
- They were punctual - the first time I've ever had tradespeople show up at the time they said they would.
- They didn't try and sell me a new roof like other tradespeople.
- I needed a repair and their repaired it for me.

They did such a good job - I don't usually have positive experiences but glad I found them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tess Roofing (Rich and Team) have been working on our community building, completed a huge amount of work to stop leaks and weather proof the roof for the future. We are a very busy community centre with many vunerable users. Rich and has team were extremely considerate working around our schedules and supplying full details of the work for us to report back to the council.  Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged with Tess contractors (not for the first time) as we had water coming through our bedroom ceiling above the window. As we have solar panels on the rear roof these needed to be taken off before the investigation on what was required to fix the problem. Once some of the tiles had been removed it was apparent it was going to be a big job. Rich took loads of pictures so we were well informed about the state of the roof.

We decided to get the whole roof replaced rather than save a little money but run the risk of further issues.

We agreed on a price which was very reasonable and also agreed a schedule for the works to take place. Everyone who worked on the roof was polite and friendly especially Max worked on the roof everyday.

The weather affected the schedule a little but that's not in our or the workers hands.

When the job was completed everything was left clean and tidy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Tess Contractors for the repairs on our industrial roof. They were extremely professional throughout. The team clearly explained the problems, combining overcladding and repair work, and documented everything with detailed photos. Their quote was clear, concise, and gave us various options, so we knew exactly what to expect.

They showed up exactly when they said they would and kept us fully updated on the progress. After the work was completed, they provided photos and videos, which was a great way to see the finished job. We highly recommend them—they were very helpful and reliable.

Solar Panel Installation FAQs

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels, or photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert sunlight into electricity. The PV cells within the panels absorb photons from sunlight, generating a direct current (DC) of electricity. An inverter then converts this DC into alternating current (AC), which powers your home’s electrical appliances.

What are the benefits of installing solar panels on my property?

Installing solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills by generating your own power, decrease your carbon footprint, and potentially increase your property’s value. Additionally, with battery storage solutions, you can store surplus energy for use during peak times, further enhancing savings.

Is my roof suitable for solar panel installation?

Most roofs are suitable for solar panels, including various types such as slate, stone, clay, concrete, trussed, metal-framed, hipped, and flat roofs. TessCon’s experienced team can assess your roof’s suitability and recommend the best installation approach for optimal energy generation.

How much does it cost to install solar panels?

The cost of solar panel installation varies based on system size, roof complexity, and specific requirements. TessCon offers installations starting from as little as £1,000, depending on your needs. We provide accurate, detailed quotes to ensure transparency and value for your investment.

How long does the installation process take?

The installation timeline depends on the system’s size and complexity. Typically, a residential solar panel installation can be completed within one to three days. TessCon’s efficient project management ensures timely completion with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?

In the UK, most solar panel installations are considered “Permitted Development” and do not require planning permission. However, if your property is listed or located in a conservation area, specific permissions may be necessary. TessCon can guide you through any required planning processes to ensure compliance.

What maintenance do solar panels require?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove debris and periodic inspections to ensure optimal performance are recommended. TessCon offers maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently throughout its lifespan.

How much can I save on my energy bills with solar panels?

Savings vary based on system size, energy consumption, and sunlight exposure. Typically, homeowners can see electricity bills drop by between 40% and 50%. With battery storage, you can maximise these savings by utilising stored energy during peak times.

Can I sell excess electricity back to the grid?

Yes, through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can earn payments for surplus electricity exported back to the grid. TessCon can assist in setting up your system to take advantage of such schemes, enhancing your return on investment.

Why should I choose TessCon for my solar panel installation?
