Surrey combines high electricity consumption with large properties and strong EV ownership — a combination that makes solar plus battery storage particularly worthwhile. Larger detached homes typically have the roof area for a 5–6kW system or bigger, and the daytime demand to use a good share of it.
We cover Surrey from our base at Shoreham Airport, working north through Redhill and Dorking to Guildford, Woking and Epsom.
Much of Surrey sits within the Surrey Hills National Landscape or a conservation area, and the county has a high proportion of listed and period properties. That does not rule solar out, but it does change the approach — panel placement, colour and mounting all matter more, and some properties need consent. Our guide to solar on listed and conservation-area homes covers the process.
Costs in Surrey track the national picture closely. Independent trade data puts most domestic installations in the county between £7,000 and £13,000, depending on system size, roof access and whether you add battery storage.
| System size | Suits | Typical installed cost | Indicative annual saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 kW (7–8 panels) | Smaller homes, lower usage | £4,500 – £6,000 | £350 – £500 |
| 4 kW (10–11 panels) | Typical 3 bedroom home | £6,000 – £8,000 | £500 – £700 |
| 5–6 kW (13–16 panels) | 4+ bedrooms, higher usage | £8,000 – £11,000 | £700 – £900 |
| Solar + battery | Evening/overnight use, EV owners | £10,000 – £15,000 | £900 – £1,300 |

Most domestic installations in Surrey fall between £7,000 and £13,000, depending on system size, roof access and whether you add battery storage. A typical 4kW system on a three bedroom home usually lands around £6,000–£8,000. We give you a fixed written price after a free survey.
Yes. We are based at Hangar 4, Shoreham Airport in West Sussex and work across the South East, including Surrey. Being a single team covering the region means the people who survey your roof are the people who install it, and we handle aftercare directly rather than passing you to a subcontractor.
A typical domestic solar installation takes one to two days on site. Adding battery storage usually adds half a day to a day. Before that we handle the system design and the DNO grid paperwork, which is where most of the lead time sits.
For most homes, no — roof-mounted solar on a standard property is permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and National Landscape designations are the exceptions, and we advise on those at survey stage.
For a typical home, somewhere around 7–10 years on solar alone, and often shorter if you are at home during the day or add a battery to increase how much of your own generation you use. Panels then keep producing for 25–30 years.
Yes. We design solar, battery storage and EV charging together where it makes sense, which is usually cheaper and tidier than adding them separately later.

It has been a really refreshing experience dealing with A Greener Alternative, having them install my new heat pumps. A totally professional job.
Would not hesitate to use them again.
