In the UK in 2024, nearly 250,000 homeowners and businesses chose to install solar panels – also known as PV (photovoltaic) panels. This represents generating capacity equivalent to two typical gas-fuelled power stations. Solar panels have long been a great choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact and demonstrate green credentials. But now we’re in a time when energy costs are not only high but unpredictable, more people are choosing PV solar panel installation.
The benefits and security that solar panels can bring can be enjoyed in Chester as much as anywhere else in the UK. If you’re in Chester and are looking for “PV panel installers near me”, then whatever the job you have in mind, CK Solars can be your trustworthy and experienced partner to get it done.

Domestic Solar Panels in Chester
There are about 45,000 houses in Chester, and hundreds of them are already enjoying the benefits of a PV solar panel installation. If you’re considering getting a solar panel installation on your Chester home, you’re probably wondering things like how many panels you need. Or is your house and your roof suitable for solar panels at all?
Don’t worry – this isn’t something you have to work out for yourself. When you choose CK Solars for solar panels in Chester, we carry out a full initial study and survey of your property. Our experienced team will evaluate your roof, its structure, its angle and its orientation and your energy usage to give you a personalised recommendation for the best solar panel installation for you.
To answer some general questions, a typical domestic PV solar panel installation in Chester will need 12 panels on about 26 square metres of roof space. Smaller installations, down to four panels and seven square metres, can work for small properties or those with very low energy usage, but are less likely to generate surplus energy to sell back into the grid.
The best place for solar panels is on a south-facing roof (so it gets the most direct sunlight during the day) with a pitch of 30-50 degrees. Chester’s geography means that there are plenty of houses like this – suburbs like Blacon, Lache or Newton have many homes with south-facing roofs.
Roofs facing east or west, and flat or shallow-sloping roofs, can still provide benefits with the right PV solar panel installation. Again, CK Solars can survey your property and advise on whether your roof is suitable and safe for solar panels before you have to decide whether to proceed further.

Commercial Solar Panels in Chester
When it comes to the benefits of solar panels, Chester businesses are often in an even better position than homeowners. While homes use most energy in the evenings, a typical business has peak energy usage during the day when solar panels are at their most productive. So a business can have independent, on-site energy directly meeting its own energy needs. And all while making use of otherwise unused roof space.
Businesses of all sizes in Chester can enjoy the benefits of solar panels. A typical medium-sized commercial enterprise can save about £5000 on its energy bills and cut nearly 10 tons of CO2 emissions each year. That’s with a PV solar panel installation of about 140 panels covering 280 square metres of roof space. A smaller or less energy-intensive business could use a smaller installation of about 170 square metres. A small office will use less energy and so need a smaller PV solar panel installation than a large factory. CK Solars has years of experience working with commercial solar power installations, with hundreds of satisfied customers and a track record of working with solar panel arrays up to 6MW in capacity. When it comes to making these decisions about size, capacity and location, we can provide the expert advice and service your business needs.
Like any company, businesses in Chester love a low-risk investment with high returns. And that’s what solar panels represent – typical ROI is at least 10 per cent, putting it above most other ventures. And solar power is now a mature and proven technology that has – and will certainly continue to have – ongoing support from the UK government.
Businesses can claim back VAT on solar panels, and they also count as low-carbon technology for claiming capital allowances that can be offset against profit before tax in the first year after installation. Beyond that, with the SEG (Smart Export Guarantee), you’ll receive payment for every unit of electricity you send to the grid, turning any surplus capacity in your solar panels into a revenue stream. A PV solar panel installation can boost your business’s ESG score, making you more attractive to investors, job seekers and customers.
