We cover Radcliffe for solar, battery, EV charger, electrical testing and general electrical work. As NAPIT-registered electricians based nearby in Prestwich, we're a short trip away and can usually fit a survey in quickly.

Radcliffe's housing is a mix of older terraced properties and newer developments. Ashley does every survey himself, and as a qualified electrician he'll give you honest advice about what'll work on your specific roof and what won't.

Solar panels in Radcliffe

The terraces closer in follow the familiar pattern - workable roofs with chimneys to design around - while the newer estates out towards the edges have larger, simpler roof faces that take bigger arrays. Between the two, most solar panel installations in Radcliffe come down to orientation and honest sizing: enough panels to cover the household's usage, a battery to hold what isn't used straight away, and an inverter position that keeps cable runs short.

The town's position in the Irwell valley means some streets sit with taller ground and trees to one side, so we look at shading across the day rather than assuming a south-ish roof is automatically the right one. It's the same process whether it's a two-bed terrace or a detached house out towards Whitefield.

“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 inspections

With the Metrolink running through Radcliffe and the M66 close by, plenty of households here are running a car as well as a tram card. A home EV charger installed properly - supply, earthing and protection checked first - makes the car cheap to run on overnight rates, and cheaper still if there's solar feeding into it.

On the electrical side we do EICR inspections in Radcliffe at £150 plus VAT with same day certificates, consumer unit upgrades and general electrical work, which is often the sensible starting point on an older property before adding solar or storage. Get in touch and we'll take it from there.

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.
Two years routine maintenance

Common questions

The questions we get asked most

Does the Irwell valley affect solar in Radcliffe?

It can. Some streets sit with taller ground and trees to one side, so we look at how shade moves across the day rather than assuming a south-ish roof is automatically the right one.

What sort of roofs work best in Radcliffe?

The older terraces closer in have workable roofs with chimneys to design around, while the newer estates out towards the edges have larger, simpler roof faces that take bigger arrays. Between the two, most installations come down to orientation and honest sizing.

Is Radcliffe too far out of your way?

No. We're based nearby in Prestwich, and Radcliffe is a short trip whether it's a two-bed terrace in town or a detached house out towards Whitefield.

Is a home EV charger worth it in Radcliffe?

With the Metrolink running through and the M66 close by, plenty of households here run a car as well as a tram card, and overnight home charging on cheap rates is the affordable way to cover the miles. The supply, earthing and protection get checked before anything is fitted.
