Bramhall
We cover Bramhall for solar, battery, EV charger and general electrical work. The area has a mix of property types, from Victorian terraces and semis around the village to larger detached homes around Bramhall Park, plus newer developments throughout. The right solar setup varies a lot from one street to the next.
A couple of things specific to Bramhall: there are conservation area considerations to navigate, and the mature trees on many streets can cast shade that affects panel performance. We're familiar with both, and Ashley will have a proper look at the property before recommending anything.
Solar panels in Bramhall
The larger detached houses round Bramhall are usually straightforward solar jobs in one sense - plenty of roof, decent electricity use - but the trees change the maths. A garden full of mature trees is lovely until it shades the south roof at the wrong time of day, so we check where shade actually falls across the year. Sometimes the answer is splitting the array across two roof faces, or putting the panels where the generation is honest rather than where they look biggest. Our solar panel installations in Bramhall are all designed around a measured survey for that reason.
For the streets within conservation areas, panel position and visibility matter. It doesn't always rule solar out, but it shapes the layout, and it's better to know before you've picked a system. We cover the detail on our conservation areas and period properties page.
“How thoughts on renegade solar. We have been very pleased with Ashley and the team. Efficient and well fitted quality product. Great communication and support. We also have had a flat roof and the results are fabulous. Highly recommended.”
Batteries and EV charging in Bramhall
Bigger homes and two-car households tend to get on well with a home battery: charge it overnight on an off-peak tariff, run the house on it through the day, and top it up with solar when there's spare. Add a home EV charger and the car charges on the same cheap overnight rates, ideally with the panels picking up a share of it in summer.
We're based in Prestwich, about half an hour up the road. Get in touch and Ashley will come out and give you a straight answer on what your roof's actually worth.
What we do in Bramhall
Every one of these is carried out by the in-house team, with only specialist scaffolding subcontracted.
Certified, registered and independently checked
A small Manchester outfit, not a sales operation
Renegade Solar is run by Ashley Merritt, a qualified electrician. Here is what that changes.
You deal with Ashley
Ashley Merritt runs Renegade Solar, does the survey himself and designs the system. There is no call centre and nobody works on commission.
An electrician designs it
Over 20 years on the tools, including more than 10 years on commercial work. The roof, the wiring, the consumer unit and the battery sizing are all one job, not four.
Our own team fits it
The installation is carried out by the in-house Renegade Solar team. Specialist scaffolding is the only part we subcontract.
Awkward roofs welcome
Flat roofs, rooflights, dormers, chimneys, parapets, mixed roof sections and ground-mounted arrays. We design around what is actually up there.
What happens after you get in touch
The same order every time, and the same person through all of it.
-
Free survey
A qualified electrician comes out and looks at the actual roof, the consumer unit, the cable route and how you use electricity. Not a salesperson with a script.
No charge, no obligation -
System design
Panel layout, inverter and battery sizing, 3D modelling and generation projections worked out for your property and your tariff rather than a Google Earth guess.
-
Written proposal
The equipment, the layout and the numbers in writing, with the payback calculation and the assumptions behind it so you can check the working.
-
Installation
Fitted by the in-house team. A standard domestic install is commonly one to two days, subject to scaffolding, roof condition, consumer unit work and weather.
Commonly 1 to 2 days -
Commissioning and certification
Tested and certified to the applicable BS 7671 requirements, with MCS-certified equipment and installation so the system is eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee.
-
Handover and aftercare
We show you the monitoring, explain how to get the most out of the system, and cover two years of routine maintenance afterwards.

The five questions every solar customer asks
Ashley answers them in four minutes, walking round his own setup - the panels, the batteries, the inverter and the EV charger on his own house. No script, and the questions come from Conor, another electrician here.
- 1. What does it actually cost?
- 2. How does it all work?
- 3. How much will I save?
- 4. Where does the kit go?
- 5. How long does it take?
The questions we get asked most
Do you cover areas near Bramhall as well?
Yes, including Stockport, Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove and Poynton. The housing runs from Victorian terraces and semis round the village to larger detached homes near Bramhall Park, so the right solar setup varies from one street to the next.
Do conservation area rules in Bramhall mean no solar?
Not automatically. Panel position and visibility matter on the streets within conservation areas, and it's better to know where you stand before you've picked a system. On most properties there's a layout that works, and the survey settles it early rather than after you've chosen equipment.
Our garden has mature trees. Will they ruin solar generation?
They change the maths rather than ending it. What matters is where shade actually falls across the year, so we measure it, and sometimes the answer is splitting the array across two roof faces or choosing the face with the honest generation rather than the biggest one.
Do you subcontract installations in Bramhall?
Only the scaffolding, which is specialist work. Ashley does the survey and the in-house team carries out the electrical installation, so the person who looked at your roof is the person overseeing the job.
