Chadderton
We cover Chadderton for solar, battery, EV charger and general electrical work. We already work over in Failsworth just down the road, and Chadderton sits along the M60, so it's an easy run from our place in Prestwich.
The housing in Chadderton is mainly terraces and family semis, and most of these roofs take solar without any complications. Ashley does every survey himself and is on site for the install, so the advice you get is from the electrician doing the work.
Solar panels in Chadderton
The terraces this side of Oldham are solid brick-built houses with slate or tile roofs, and the design challenge is usually the chimney - deciding which side of the stack gets the panels and keeping the array in the clean section of roof. The semis give you two faces to choose from, so orientation and anything casting shade decide where the panels go. Our solar panel installations in Chadderton are designed around a proper look at the roof rather than a desktop guess, because the difference between a layout that works and one that doesn't is usually a metre either side of a chimney.
Newer developments along the M60 corridor tend to have bigger, simpler roofs and higher energy use, which is where solar plus battery storage starts paying for itself - generating through the day, storing the spare, and running the evening off it.
“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.”
EV chargers and batteries in Chadderton
With the M60 on the doorstep, a lot of households here do the miles, so a home EV charger on an overnight tariff takes a proper chunk out of running costs. The part that matters is the electrical check first - supply, earthing, consumer unit - which is what we do before quoting, not after agreeing.
We can also carry out an EICR inspection in Chadderton for £150 plus VAT with same day certificates, useful before adding solar or a battery to an older installation. Get in touch and we'll sort a survey out.
What we do in Chadderton
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
Is Chadderton too far away for you to take the job on?
Not at all. Chadderton sits along the M60, so it's an easy run from our base in Prestwich, and we already work in Failsworth just down the road.
Where do the panels go on a Chadderton terrace with a chimney?
The brick-built houses here have slate or tile roofs, and the chimney is usually the design decision: which side of the stack gets the panels, and keeping the array in the clean section of roof. Semis give you two faces to choose from, so orientation and shade settle it.
Is a battery worth adding to solar in Chadderton?
For the newer developments along the M60 corridor, with bigger roofs and higher energy use, solar plus battery storage earns its keep: the battery stores what the house doesn't use through the day and runs the evening off it. On the older terraces it depends on usage and roof space, which the survey measures.
Should I get the electrics checked before adding solar in Chadderton?
It's a sensible starting point on an older installation. We carry out EICR inspections in Chadderton at £150 plus VAT with same day certificates, which shows what the consumer unit, earthing and wiring can take before solar or a battery goes on.
