Why choose solar for your Bexleyheath home?
Bexleyheath has a housing mix that lends itself particularly well to solar. The area is dominated by 1930s semis along streets running off the Broadway, classic three-bed terraces around Upton and Long Lane, larger detached homes near Danson Park, and a steady supply of newer builds towards Barnehurst and Crayford. Many of these properties have generous south or west-facing rear roofs, which is exactly the kind of footprint that gets the most out of a well-designed solar array.
We have been working across the Bexley borough since 2017, with our in-house team having completed over 800 solar installations across South East England, a good number of which sit on Bexleyheath rooftops. That experience helps us know which systems suit which homes, from the standard pitched roofs on interwar semis to the more compact roofs found on modern townhouses. Each setup is sized around your bills and your goals, with most customers typically saving up to 70% on their energy costs once their system is generating.

Proud to fit Anglo Solar Panels
For domestic installs across Bexleyheath, we fit Anglo Solar panels as our preferred choice. They come with a 30-year British-backed warranty, which is one of the strongest cover periods available on a residential solar panel in the UK, giving proper peace of mind on a system designed to last decades.
The panels are well engineered, sit neatly on a wide range of roof types, and pair smoothly with the inverters and battery storage options we recommend. Together, they make for a setup that quietly works in the background, lowering your bills and reducing the carbon footprint of your home year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few of the questions Bexleyheath homeowners ask us most often before going ahead.
Do I need solar to get a battery storage system?
A battery does not have to be paired with solar to be worthwhile. On its own, a battery can be charged overnight on a cheaper off-peak tariff and used through the day when grid electricity is more expensive, which can already shave a meaningful amount off your bills. Adding solar then takes things further, since the battery can be filled with free energy from your roof.
How does solar work?
Daylight hits the panels on your roof and they produce direct current electricity. An inverter converts this into alternating current, which is the type of electricity your home actually uses to run lighting, sockets, appliances, and any extras such as an EV charger or hot water diverter. Anything you do not use straight away can be stored in a battery, exported to the grid, or both.
How long will my solar system last for?
A properly installed solar system should keep performing reliably for 25 years or more. Anglo Solar panels carry a 30-year British-backed warranty, with mounting kits typically warranted for 10 years and inverters and batteries usually offering similar cover.
How soon will I start saving money from solar?
The savings start as soon as your system is switched on. From that first day, you import less from the grid, and the difference shows up directly on your next bill. Customers typically save up to 70% on their energy costs once a fully designed system is in operation.
What is a battery storage system?
It is a unit fitted in your home, often in a garage, utility room, or plant cupboard, that stores electricity until you need it. It can be charged from your solar panels when the sun is out, or topped up from the grid during cheaper off-peak hours, and then drawn on later in the day when household demand is highest.
Do solar panels work in the winter?
Yes, solar panels generate throughout the winter months. They respond to daylight rather than direct heat, so they keep producing power on cold and overcast days, just at lower output than in the longer summer days. A well-designed system accounts for this pattern across the full year.
Will solar panels and battery storage work if I have a power cut
Standard grid-tied solar systems are designed to disconnect automatically during a power cut for safety reasons, so they do not feed electricity into the network while engineers are working on the lines. Some battery storage systems can be configured to provide backup power to selected circuits during an outage, and our advisors can let you know whether that option suits your home.
Do you need planning permission for solar panels?
For most homes in Bexleyheath, planning permission is not required because solar panels are usually covered under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat roof installs can be exceptions, and we will check the rules that apply to your specific property as part of the survey.
How long does a solar panel installation take?
A standard domestic install in Bexleyheath usually takes 1 to 2 days on site, covering scaffolding, fitting, electrical work, and commissioning. Larger arrays, more complex roof shapes, or projects that include battery storage and EV charging can take a little longer, and we will agree clear timings with you up front.
How many solar panels will fit on my roof?
It depends on your roof’s size, pitch, orientation, and any obstructions such as chimneys, dormers, or skylights. As part of your free site survey, we map out the usable space and design an array that balances the number of panels with how much energy your household uses across the year.
