Marple
We cover Marple, Rose Hill, Hawk Green, Marple Bridge and Mellor for solar, battery, EV charger and general electrical work. The area has a mix of Victorian terraces, semis and newer developments, all of which can take solar in different configurations.
Ashley does the survey himself and oversees every installation. As an MCS-certified electrician, he can talk through what'll work on your specific roof and what the realistic returns look like for your usage.
Solar panels in Marple
Marple sits at the edge of the Peak fringes, and that shows in the housing - stone terraces near the centre and canalside, larger semis and detached houses climbing the hills, and newer estates filling the gaps. What that means for solar panel installation in Marple is variety: a compact array on a terrace roof is a different design to a larger system on a detached house above the valley, and both are different again from a property shaded by the woods that half the streets here back onto.
Tree cover is the thing we check hardest. It's a lovely part of the world precisely because it's green, and the same green that makes it pleasant to live in can take a bite out of generation if it sits between your roof and the afternoon sun. We measure what the shade actually does across the day and the year before recommending a layout - sometimes it means repositioning the array, sometimes splitting it across two faces.
“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 Marple
Being a fair run from the city centre, plenty of households here do the miles, so a home EV charger on cheap overnight rates is a straightforward win - we check the supply and earthing properly as part of the install rather than assuming. A home battery does the same job for the house, charging off-peak and using solar where it's available.
If you're in Marple and want a straight answer about your roof, get in touch and we'll come and look.
What we do in Marple
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.
Two years routine maintenance

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
Which places do you cover around Marple?
Marple itself plus Rose Hill, Hawk Green, Marple Bridge and Mellor. The housing runs from stone terraces near the centre and canalside to larger detached houses climbing the hills, and each takes a different solar layout.
My garden is full of mature trees. Is solar still worth it?
Often, but it has to be measured rather than guessed. Tree cover is the thing we check hardest in Marple, because shade between your roof and the afternoon sun takes a real bite out of generation. Sometimes the answer is repositioning the array, sometimes splitting it across two roof faces.
Have you done electrical work in Marple, not just solar?
Yes, we carry out general electrical work across the area alongside solar, batteries and EV chargers. One Checkatrade review from a job in the area reads, "Ashley completed the works in my kitchen to a good standard and at the price agreed. He also went the extra mile to put a new back box on one of my sockets which was not in good condition."
Do I come to you for a survey or do you come to me?
Ashley comes to you. He does every Marple survey himself, and as an MCS-certified electrician he can talk through what will work on your specific roof and what the realistic returns look like for your usage before you commit to anything.
