Whether for your home or a business, solar panels in Crewe offer:
- Reduced electricity bills

- A reduced carbon footprint
- Added value to your property
- Extra income by selling surplus energy.
In 2024, more than 200,000 homeowners and 40,000 businesses in Britain chose to install solar panels. High and volatile energy prices, decreasing cost and increasing desire for eco-friendly energy solutions are what drove this surge in capacity – a capacity equivalent to two fossil-fuelled power stations.
Crewe is a town built on older forms of energy like steam locomotives and Bentley cars. But the financial and environmental case for solar panel installation benefits Crewe as much as anywhere else.
Read on to find out more about what a solar panel installation in Crewe from CK Solars can offer.
Domestic Solar Panels in Crewe
There are around 22,000 houses in Crewe, and many of them can benefit from solar panels. But is your home’s roof really suitable?
The minimum panel installation needed to see some benefits is usually four panels, requiring about seven square metres of roof space. But to really see the positive impact of solar panels you need about 26 square metres of roof space, supporting 12 panels.
For best performance, this roof area should face south, since this will receive the most sunlight for the longest time in any given conditions. East- and West-facing roofs can be suitable in the right circumstances.
The roof should be pitched at 30-50 degrees for maximum effectiveness. Fortunately, this is exactly the angle of a typical British house design. Flat roofs or those of other pitches and shapes can still support efficient solar panel systems with the right installation.
When it comes to solar panel installation, Crewe is fortunate in that most homes in the town have roofs made of tiles over sheeting, supported on wooden rafters and battens. This is a good basis for a solar panel installation, but flat asphalt, tar and wooden roofs can also support them.
You don’t have to determine all this yourself! When you choose CK Solars for your eco-friendly energy solutions with solar panels in Crewe, we will use our experience and expertise to evaluate your home, its roof space, its orientation and all the other relevant factors. Then we’ll provide you with a detailed recommendation on the best installation.
And it can all start with a simple phone call or email to get a no-obligation quote.

Commercial Solar Panels in Crewe
For businesses, the advantages of solar panels can be even more stark, since it allows them to generate independent on-site energy during the day, when demand is highest. And the panels go on the roof space that is otherwise unused.
The famous Bentley factory in Crewe has 20,000 PV panels on it, covering 3.45 hectares. But a commercial solar panel installation doesn’t have to be on that scale to provide very real benefits. Smaller businesses and premises in Crewe can still gain big benefits from eco-friendly energy solutions like solar panels.
For small businesses, solar panels totalling about 170 square metres can produce the expected benefits of lower energy costs, independent energy supply and even a small income stream by selling surplus electricity via the SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) system. Having solar panels on your premises can increase your ESG score and demonstrate your business’s environmental credentials.
Of course, Crewe is home to businesses of all types and sizes. An administrative office will have lower energy demands than a manufacturing plant or a warehouse, and so will need a smaller installation. The orientation of your building, the roof area, the design and construction of the roof and the nature of your business will all determine the optimal solar panel for your business.
CK Solars can determine all this for you, and more. We have a track record across 20 years and hundreds of satisfied commercial customers, working with solar panel installations of up to 6MW in size.
