Solar PV installation across Northamptonshire
A solar PV system turns daylight into electricity your property uses first, so you buy less from the grid and shield yourself from price rises. Solarcore Energy Ltd designs every system around one property at a time, because roof pitch, orientation, shading and how much electricity you use through the day all change what a system should look like.
We start with your last four energy bills and a roof survey. From there we size the array, model the output across the year and show you the figures before you commit. No pressure, no inflated savings.
Panels and mounting we install
We fit panels from AIKO, Jinko, JA Solar, Trina Solar and Viridian, chosen per property rather than a single brand pushed on everyone. For mounting we use K2 Systems for on-roof and flat roof work, and Viridian or GSE Integration for in-roof systems, which sit flush with the tiles for a cleaner finish.

What your installation includes
Everything from first survey to certification is covered in the price we quote. Many systems also qualify for export payments under the Smart Export Guarantee.
Survey and design
We measure, check the roof structure and design around shading.
Panels and mounting
Trusted panel brands with on-roof, flat roof or in-roof systems.
Inverter and protection
Correctly specified, isolated and protected electrical work.
Certification
Tested, commissioned and handed over with your paperwork.
What solar PV actually saves you
Savings depend on how much electricity you use while the sun is up. A property with someone home during the day, or a business running weekday hours, uses more of what it generates and sees the quickest return. If the property sits empty through the day, pairing the array with battery storage changes the maths considerably.
Lower bills from day one
Every unit you generate and use is a unit you do not buy.
Less exposure to the grid
Your costs depend less on the wider energy market.
A property that stands out
A certified, documented system is an asset at sale.
Cleaner electricity
Every unit from your roof is one not generated by gas.
Installed by our own team
The people who survey your roof are the people who fit the system. No subcontractors brought in on the day, no handing you between companies when something needs checking afterwards.
That matters most when a job turns out to be more complicated than the photographs suggested, which happens more often than the industry admits. Awkward roof structures, old wiring and tight loft access are all easier to solve when the person who designed the system is standing in front of it.
Ask us anything before you commit. Call 07375 791841.

Free survey, modelled output and a fixed written price before you decide anything.
How we install your system
Installation takes most properties one to three days on site once scaffolding is up. We agree the date with you in advance and turn up when we say we will.
Survey before design
Nobody designs a system properly from an aerial photograph. We visit, measure, check the roof structure and plan the cabling route with the least disruption.
Installation and commissioning
Our own installers carry out the work rather than subcontractors, then test, commission and walk you through the monitoring.
After we hand over
You get your certification, handover pack and a point of contact who knows your system. See our process.
Solar PV installation questions, answered
These are the questions we get asked most often on survey visits. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
How many panels will I need?
It depends on your electricity use and usable roof area. Most homes we work on take between eight and sixteen panels. We size yours from your actual consumption, not an average.
Do I need planning permission?
Most roof-mounted installations are permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the common exceptions, and we tell you at survey stage if yours is affected.
What happens on a cloudy day?
Panels generate in daylight, not direct sunshine, so output continues in cloud at a reduced rate. British weather is already factored into the figures we give you.
Can I add a battery later?
Yes. We design systems so storage can be retrofitted without replacing the inverter wherever possible. Tell us at survey stage if a battery is likely later.
How long does a solar PV installation last?
Panels typically carry performance warranties of 25 years or more, with inverters usually replaced once in that period. Output drops only slightly year on year.
Who does the paperwork?
We do. The network operator application, testing, certification and notification are all handled by us as part of the job.
