Bury
We cover Bury for solar, battery, EV charger and general electrical work. Bury has a wide spread of property types - older terraces closer to the centre, larger semis and detached homes out towards Tottington and Ramsbottom - and we've worked across most of it at one point or another.
Ashley does every survey himself. As an MCS-certified electrician, he'll give you a straight answer on whether solar makes sense for your property and what the right setup would actually look like. We're based in Prestwich, around fifteen minutes down the road.
Solar panels in Bury
Closer into town, the terraces have compact roofs with chimneys and ridge lines doing most of the talking. A well-placed array on the best section beats a spread-out one that fights the obstructions, and because Ashley surveys every roof in person, the design matches what's actually there rather than what a satellite photo reckons. Out towards Tottington and Ramsbottom the roofs get bigger and the gardens get leafier, so shading checks matter more and the array sizes go up.
Our solar panel installations in Bury page covers the local detail, or the main solar and battery installation page explains the full process from survey through to commissioning and aftercare.
“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.”
Electrics first on older houses
Plenty of Bury's housing stock has been rewired in stages over decades, and the state of the consumer unit, earthing and wiring affects what can hang off it - solar, battery storage and an EV charger all depend on a supply that's up to it. An EICR in Bury costs £150 plus VAT with same day certificates, and it tells you where you stand before you spend money on top of it.
The Bury end of the Metrolink also means a fair few households here run a car as well as a tram card, so home charging on an off-peak tariff is worth setting up properly. Get in touch and we'll take a look at what you've got.
What we do in Bury
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 questions we get asked most
Do you work across all of Bury, out towards Tottington and Ramsbottom?
We've worked across most of it, from the terraces near the centre to the larger semis and detached homes out towards Tottington and Ramsbottom. Out that way the roofs get bigger and the gardens get leafier, so shading checks matter more.
Have you actually fitted solar and battery systems in the Bury area?
There is. A Checkatrade reviewer in the BL0 area wrote: "Ashley and his team fitted a solar & battery unit to my house. They were all great."
My Bury house has old wiring. Can it still take solar?
Plenty of Bury's housing stock has been rewired in stages over decades, so the state of the consumer unit, earthing and wiring gets looked at before anything is agreed. An EICR in Bury at £150 plus VAT, with same day certificates, tells you where you stand first.
What decides how much electricity a solar array in Bury generates?
Orientation, shading and the obstructions on the roof, which is why Ashley surveys every property in person and the design matches what's actually there rather than what a satellite photo reckons. The annual projection is modelled on your roof and your usage.
