Services We Offer
We're Renegade Solar, based in Prestwich, covering the whole Oldham borough. Ashley, a qualified electrician, handles every survey and installation personally.
Lees — between town and moor
Lees sits at the point where Oldham starts climbing towards Saddleworth. The housing reflects that transition — you've got terraces and semis on the lower streets that are typical Oldham borough stock, and as you head uphill towards Springhead and Grasscroft, the properties get bigger, the views get better, and the roofs get more interesting.
The terraces around Lees centre suit 3-4kW systems. The semis and detached homes up the hill can take 4-6kW, sometimes more if the roof allows it. Average property prices around £240k mean solar's a proportionally significant investment — and the returns are genuine, with savings of £350-570 a year on typical energy bills.
Grants worth knowing about
Oldham Council runs an active LA Flex scheme — if your household income is under £31,000, you may qualify for grant funding towards solar panels, batteries, or heat pumps. The scheme runs until December 2026 but budgets may run out early.
On top of that, 0% VAT on domestic solar installations runs until 2027, and MCS certification (which we have) means your system qualifies for Smart Export Guarantee payments.
Heading towards Saddleworth
If your property is further up towards Springhead or Grasscroft, you're getting into territory where stone slate roofs and higher wind exposure become factors. We cover this in detail on our Saddleworth page — but the short version is we account for wind loading in every design, and we're upfront about any additional complexity or cost.

Solar installation
We were looking for an off grid solar installation for our allotment. Renegade gave us a very good quote for the job and so we chose them. This turned out to be a great decision. Ashley did a site inspection and we tweaked the initial design to better suit our location. The installation went ahead on the planned date and the work was completed to a very high standard. We had some additional work carried out at the same time, some due to Ashleys recommendation (e.g. swapping our lighting for LED). I highly recommend Renegade as a trustworthy and competent company.
Renegade Electrical Ltd are brilliant!
Renegade Electrical Ltd have been great. They replaced my electric fuse box really quickly and for a really reasonable price too. Would highly recommend 👌
Renegade Electricals - Exceptional service!
In a word...outstanding! Renegade Electricals installed a 10 panel PV system with battery/inverter for us and we're extremely happy with it. Ashley was easy to deal with, reassuring and very professional providing full documentation and keeping us informed throughout the process. His customer service was exceptional and technical knowledge formidable. The panels, even in winter in the grim/grey north west, are producing impressive stats and its great entertainment watching the Alpha-ESS app showing the panels filling the battery up during the day, then discharging in the evening. RECOMMENDED!

Solar panel replacement
Ashley did an amazing job for us upgrading our solar panels after 3 had failed. Turned up on time and worked so hard putting right the botch job we had previously. Over the moon with the savings I have already made producing more power and reducing daily usage would highly recommend.
