Solar Installations in Crumpsall

Name: Renegade Solar
Address: Prestwich, Greater Manchester, GB
Telephone: +447868643147
Rating: 9.96

We cover Crumpsall for solar, battery, EV charger and general electrical work. Being based in Prestwich just up the road, we're often in the area, and Ashley can usually get out for a survey quickly. Our 9.96/10 Checkatrade rating covers work across North Manchester.

Crumpsall has a mix of traditional terraced housing and more recent developments. Ashley does the survey personally and oversees every installation, so the recommendations come from someone who understands the technical side and will be on site doing the work.

Solar panels in Crumpsall

The terraces round here follow the usual North Manchester pattern - decent houses, roofs carved up by chimneys, and a right way and a wrong way to use what's left. The solar panel installations in Crumpsall we design usually put the panels on the cleanest section and size the system honestly around it, rather than pretending an obstructed face is worth having. The semis and the newer developments further out give more options, including bigger arrays with a battery to hold the evening use.

Because we're five minutes up the road in Prestwich, the survey, the install and any follow-up all get done by people who were already going past your street that week. That's the practical difference between a local installer and a national one sending whoever's free.

“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 electrical work in Crumpsall

A home EV charger is a common next job after solar here - overnight charging on an off-peak tariff, with the panels contributing through the day in summer. We check the supply and earthing before anything else, because a charger is a new circuit on your installation and it has to be done properly.

We also carry out EICR inspections in Crumpsall at £150 plus VAT with same day certificates, which is sensible before adding solar or a battery to an older property. Get in touch and we'll come and have a look.

Why us

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.

About Ashley →

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.

How it works

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.

Common questions

The questions we get asked most

Are you a local installer, or a national company sending whoever's free?

Local, and deliberately so. We're five minutes up the road in Prestwich, so the survey, the install and any follow-up get done by people who were already going past your street that week. There's no call centre and no commissioned sales team.

Can you get a decent system on a Crumpsall terrace?

Usually. The terraces round here follow the familiar North Manchester pattern, with roofs carved up by chimneys, so we put the panels on the cleanest section and size the system honestly around it. The semis and the newer developments further out take bigger arrays, often with a battery.

What's involved with an EV charger installation in Crumpsall?

Checking the supply and earthing comes before anything else, because a charger is a new circuit on your installation. After that it's a straightforward job on most properties here, and overnight charging on an off-peak tariff makes the car cheap to run.

Apart from Crumpsall, where else do you work nearby?

Cheetham Hill, Blackley and Moston are all part of the North Manchester patch, along with our home base in Prestwich. If you sit on the edge of two of them, just ask.
