Solar PV & Battery Storage
Solar Installation Hull – Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about solar panel installation in Hull, East Yorkshire, and nearby areas — systems, suitability, savings, timelines, and certification.
Do you install solar panels in Hull and across East Yorkshire?
Yes — we provide solar PV installation for homes and businesses across Hull and East Yorkshire, including surrounding towns and villages. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, send your postcode and we’ll confirm.
What types of solar systems do you install?
We install roof-mounted solar PV systems, hybrid systems (solar + battery storage), and upgrades for customers who want to add batteries later. We’ll recommend the right setup based on roof space, usage, and budget.
Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Most roofs in Hull and East Yorkshire are suitable. We check orientation, shading, pitch, usable area, and roof condition. If you send your address (and ideally a photo), we can often do a quick initial assessment before arranging a survey.
How much can I save with solar in East Yorkshire?
Savings depend on system size, daytime usage, electricity rates, and whether you add a battery. We’ll provide a clear estimate based on your consumption and the proposed system — including expected generation and payback guidance.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Hull?
In many cases, solar PV is permitted development. However, listed buildings, conservation areas, or unusual roof situations may have restrictions. We’ll advise during the survey and help you understand any requirements before installation.
How long does a solar installation take?
Most domestic installs are completed in 1–2 days depending on system size and access. Battery installs can add time. We’ll confirm the schedule upfront and keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you install battery storage systems as well?
Yes. Battery storage lets you store excess solar energy for evening use and can improve self-sufficiency. We’ll recommend a suitable battery size based on your usage patterns and solar generation.
Will I get paid for exporting electricity back to the grid?
Potentially, yes. Many customers use the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) via their energy supplier to receive payments for exported electricity. We’ll ensure your system is installed and commissioned correctly so you can apply where eligible.
Are you certified to install solar PV systems?
We carry the relevant credentials for professional solar and electrical work (including NICEIC approval for electrical installation) and we install to current standards. If you need specific documentation for finance, export payments, or warranties, tell us what you require and we’ll confirm what’s provided as part of your install pack.
What warranty do solar panels and inverters come with?
Warranties vary by manufacturer and product type (panels, inverter, battery). We’ll explain the exact warranty terms on your quoted equipment and provide the paperwork after commissioning.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days in East Yorkshire?
Yes — solar PV still generates electricity in daylight even when it’s overcast, just at a lower output than in direct sun. We size your system based on realistic annual generation, not best-case summer peaks.
What’s your process for a solar quote and installation?
1) Quick call / message to understand your goals. 2) Roof suitability check and survey. 3) Clear written quotation with system options. 4) Installation and commissioning. 5) Handover pack, app setup (where applicable), and aftercare support.
Do you offer finance for solar installation?
Finance options may be available depending on the system and eligibility. Ask when you request a quote and we’ll explain the current options and what documentation is needed.

Fab guy overall quality of workmanship, professionalism, timeliness, and communication are spot on, wouldn't have anyone else now to do my electrical jobs. 100 percent would recommend
We had our charger installed by Steel electrical. Gary and his colleague were amazing fitting us in urgently and doing a remarkable job! Such wonderful people thank you both so much! Also thank you Gary for setting it up for me couldn’t have done that without you!
Gary and his colleague came to change all my down lighters to safer and more efficient lights, there were 58 in total. They also changed 2 lights in my hall way that I had already bought just needed fitting. Fantastic service, speedy fitting and always kept in touch with me. Thank you.
Great service. Really quick and efficient. Would highly recommend Steel Electrical.
I had a pleasant experience with them and would highly recommend their services. Very efficient, with a fast turnaround time.
We moved into a flat in December last year and it was in desperate need of more sockets in the living room and bedroom. Gary came highly recommended and with a tight deadline he managed to come do the work. He was professional and quick with the work and cleaned up after him. I can happily recommend him and would be very happy to use him again.

Great guy, extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again 🙂✨
When a light stopped working and appeared faulty I carried out the obvious check with no success, so I disconnected and taped up the cable ends safely.
I then found that two other lights had stopped working. I needed help so I rang Gary. He answered immediately and arranged to call the following morning.
On arrival he instantaneously realised what the problem was and explained in a clear and concise manner, in doing so demonstrated his skill and knowledge. He then rectified the problem efficiently, effectively and quickly.
I have no hesitation not only in recommending him, but will certainly call on him again when I need any further electrical work.
