Example Solar Installations
Solar designs we've done in Gedling
These are real 3D roof designs from Spectrum quotes in Gedling, for homes and businesses. Every solar quote we send includes one for your own roof, showing where each panel goes.
Commercial Solar Gedling
Gedling itself is mostly homes, with pubs such as the Gedling Inn and The Willowbrook on Main Road, Carlton le Willows Academy on Wood Lane and Café 1899 at the country park. The Chase Farm plans include a primary school, shops and a medical centre, and Colwick Industrial Estate is under two miles to the south.
Schools, surgeries, pubs and shops use most of their power in daylight, when solar is producing, and we also cover workshops and units on the estates towards Netherfield and Colwick. For a business using the bulk of its output, payback commonly falls between about 4 and 8 years.
We handle the design, the grid application and maintenance afterwards, and businesses can claim capital allowances on the system cost (your accountant can confirm the relief). Read our guide to solar for businesses or see our case studies.
Residential Solar Gedling: Landlords and Developers
Since the pit closed, the former colliery land has been turning into housing: Keepmoat's Chase Farm plans total 1,050 homes, with phase one started in 2017, and Colliery Way, the £49 million link road from the A612 to Mapperley Plains, opened to traffic in March 2022. On new homes, solar counts towards Part L; on the village's older houses, it helps landlords lift EPC ratings.
We run portfolio jobs as one project, with phased installs and Part P certification. Read about solar for property portfolios or new-build developments.
Domestic Solar Panels Gedling: Homeowners
With panels on a Gedling roof you buy less electricity through the day, and a battery keeps the afternoon surplus for the evening. We cover the whole of Gedling and the neighbouring areas, from Chase Farm and Lambley to Carlton, Netherfield and Burton Joyce.
Gedling Village was approved as a conservation area in June 2025, taking in farmsteads, workers' cottages and Victorian and Edwardian houses, some with Arts and Crafts detailing, so if your home is inside the new boundary we check the planning position and panel layout before we design.
Domestic solar and battery installs are zero-rated for VAT, currently due to run until 31 March 2027 (the rate is set by when the job is installed and invoiced), and you are paid for exported power through the Smart Export Guarantee. We can add battery storage, EV charging and, if you want it, Home Assistant with Predbat as an optional extra.
What Matters for Solar in Gedling
Planning and Conservation
Gedling Borough Council is the planning authority; the village lost its own parish in 1935 and is now an unparished part of the borough. In June 2025 the council's Cabinet approved a Gedling Village Conservation Area, drawn tightly around the historic core with the Grade I All Hallows Church, the former Gedling Station, the Memorial Hall and the Fountain. Most home solar is still permitted development, but in a conservation area the rules are tighter, so we check your street before we design.
Grid Connection
Gedling is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands network, which lists a Gedling primary substation in its data. Home systems are generally notified under G98 and larger ones need G99 approval, and on Chase Farm and other new estates we check your MPAN in case an independent network owns the connection.
Homes and Roofs
Gedling Colliery opened in 1899 and closed in 1991; in the 1960s it produced over a million tonnes of coal a year, employed 1,400 people and was known as the pit of all nations. The site reopened as Gedling Country Park in March 2015. The village station closed in 1960, and the old houses of the core now sit among later streets that join Gedling to Carlton.

We look at your roof and your electricity use and send an all-inclusive quote with the projected savings and payback, with no obligation.
Kit, Warranties and Guarantees
We fit tier-one panels (30-year performance warranty on the models we use most), Solis hybrid inverters supplied with a 10-year warranty, and Fogstar batteries on most homes or Pylontech on larger commercial systems, and we can usually supply another make if you prefer; see our solar technology.
Every installation carries our 5-year workmanship guarantee and a QANW insurance-backed guarantee on top of the manufacturers' warranties, and Spectrum is insured through QBE UK Limited (£10M employers' liability, £5M public and products liability, £1M professional indemnity).
How It Works
We start with a satellite view of your roof and your electricity use, then send an all-inclusive design and quote (subject to site survey), normally within 48 hours. A site survey confirms the details, we handle the grid paperwork, and most homes are installed in 1 to 2 days, around 4 to 6 weeks from first enquiry; our installation guide explains each step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gedling Village a conservation area now?
Yes. Gedling Borough Council's Cabinet approved the Gedling Village Conservation Area in June 2025, covering the old core around All Hallows. Solar is often still possible there, but we check the planning position for your address first.
Which network operator connects solar in Gedling?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), as part of its East Midlands area. We read the MPAN on your bill first, which shows whether a newer home is on an independent network.
Do you install at Chase Farm and the other new estates in Gedling?
Yes. We fit solar and batteries on new-build homes, check the MPAN before we apply to the network, and cover the rest of Gedling, Lambley, Carlton, Netherfield and Burton Joyce.
Are solar panels worth it in Gedling?
For most homes and businesses, yes. Payback is typically around 8 to 10 years for homes and 4 to 8 years for businesses, depending on your tariff and how much of the power you use yourself.
How much do solar panels cost in Gedling?
We quote one all-inclusive price for your roof and your usage, covering scaffolding, labour, the grid application and certification, and the quote shows the projected savings and payback before you commit. Some grid connections also carry a network operator fee, typically around £153 plus VAT.
Do you offer finance?
No, we are not a credit broker. We give you a clear written quote to take to your own lender if you want to borrow, and we do take card payments if you want to use a credit card offer.
