Whitefield
We cover Whitefield for solar, battery, EV charger and general electrical work. Whitefield is one of our closest patches - we're just over in Prestwich, so there isn't much travel involved and we can usually fit in a survey quickly.
The area has a wide mix of housing, from older semis and terraces through to larger detached properties around the edges, and most of them take solar in some form or another. Ashley does every survey himself and is on site for the install, so the advice you get is from the MCS-certified electrician doing the work.
Solar panels in Whitefield
Being this close to our base, we know the housing well. The terraces and semis streets need the usual design care round chimneys and orientation, and the newer developments towards the M60 and out towards Bury have larger roofs that take bigger arrays. Our solar panel installations in Whitefield are designed on a measured survey - by now we've fitted panels and batteries to most of the housing types round here, so the generation and usage numbers we put in front of you are based on local roofs rather than brochure figures.
With the Metrolink running straight through Whitefield into the city centre, plenty of households here are deciding between the tram and the car most mornings. Solar with a battery and a driveway charger covers both ends of it - the house running on cheap stored electricity, and the car charged off the same overnight window or off the panels in summer.
“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
EV charger installation in Whitefield is one of the most common jobs we do locally, and being around the corner means the follow-up questions get answered the same week rather than waiting for someone to drive over from Leeds. We also carry out EICR inspections in Whitefield at £150 plus VAT with same day certificates, plus consumer unit upgrades and general electrical work - and for local businesses, commercial solar in Whitefield. Get in touch about any of it.
What we do in Whitefield
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
How quickly can you get to Whitefield for a survey?
Most weeks, at short notice. We're just over in Prestwich, so Whitefield is one of our closest patches, and Ashley does every survey himself rather than sending a sales rep.
Will solar panels work on the terraces in Whitefield, or is it only for the bigger houses?
They work on both. The terraces and semis need the usual design care round chimneys and orientation, while the newer developments towards the M60 and out towards Bury have larger roofs that take bigger arrays.
Are you a national solar company or a local outfit?
A local one, based in Prestwich. You deal with Ashley and the in-house team from survey to aftercare, only specialist scaffolding is subcontracted, and there's no call centre and no commissioned sales team.
What have Whitefield customers said about the work?
One Checkatrade reviewer in the M45 area said: "From the start he was extremely friendly, knew what he was talking about and we agreed a price, he came did the job it took longer than he expected but he didn't complain he took his time to finish the job and came back next day to help set it up."
