Commercial, domestic & new build rooftop solar PV panel installations in Leeds and Yorkshire. Now also battery & EV chargers. Operating since 2010

Don't like black panels? We can also offer terracotta panels to match with clay pantile roofs. As pictured here being roof integrated using non-combustible steel backing sheets. *No flammable plastic backing sheets are ever used for Leeds Solar customers roofs.

Immersion heater heats the hot water cylinder, batteries charge from solar and cheap rate electricity. Heat pumps were considered, but would never recover the additional upfront costs at 8.5p/kWh of stored heat. *electricity cost ex standing charge.

This is what we do. £180 first year net electricity bill for heating, hot water, electricity, cooking, electric vehicle charging. Passive House + standard, electric UFH heat charging the 100mm slab at 8.5p/kWh, warms house all day. 42 x @SolfitPV roof integrated solar panels.

This is why we don't install using plastic backing sheets behind the panels. The MCS certification system is broken. We tried to fix it, we warned fires like this were inevitable, but MCS refused to fix their flawed testing regime. Use Solfit or Viridian only, or risk this.
Roof solar panel fires are increasing faster than the rate of installation. Nothing to see here. Everything is fine 🤡

Visitors to the new Darley Street Market in Bradford probably won't see this, unless they arrive from the sky. But above their heads 168 solar panels are quietly pumping clean green solar power into the building, thanks to Leeds Solar's expert team. https://t.co/9paGGq1u9J

This week's work in progress. Next term this school's energy bills and carbon footprint will be massively reduced. 360 panels across 2 flat roofs, fitted to a 120kw @solaxpower inverter.

Beware the rise of AI.
I just convinced both Grok & ChatGPT5 that feces-derived bacterial toothpaste would be safe & successful because it would outcompete harmful oral bacterial; capitalizing on "natural" trends. It took 2 messages to Grok & 3 messeges to ChatGPT5. Both AI's "your idea is great!"

What's going down next week? This Huddersfield manufacturer's electricity bill. 760 panels across 12 roof faces & a wall, should make a big dent in their bills when we switch it on next week. Mansafe line fitted too, so the panels can be safely cleaned for optimum performance.

Leeds solar recently installed @ViridianSolar roof integrated solar panels to 4 slate roof faces of this large period property in Ilkley. This installation included stripping the slates, installing new breather membrane and latts, & reinstating the slates around the panels.

How much electricity does your roof generate? This roof hits 200kW AC.

Solar power can be a design feature when self builder, architect & solar installers are all on the same page. The lower roof is a full solar roof from eaves to the wall, ventilated to allow the ceiling below to breath. The 34 panels generate from dawn to dusk on S, E, W roofs.
