Leeds Solar's experienced team handles the entire installation from quote to installation and commissioning. We offer free design, quote, savings estimates and technical survey, and a no hard selling approach. With full tech support to get you up and running after installation.
High quality, long life equipment specification
Leeds Solar install ultra long life solar PV systems, inverters and batteries from tried and tested manufacturers. Our European manufactured solar panels arrays will be generating solar energy efficiently for at least the lifetime of your roof, while our batteries and inverters should mostly last 15-20 years, with full UK tech support if anything does go wrong.
Aesthetics as standard
Solar panels should look good while saving you money. Not only will you be seeing the panels every day, but the look of your property affects it's value. This is an especially important for period properties, properties in conservation areas, and listed buildings. Our all black panels in a range of sizes allow us to maximise the generation potential from your roof without compromising on the aesthetics.
Roof integrated solar specialists
Our team are expert installers of specialist roof integrated solar panels from Solfit or Viridian Solar. These roof integrated panels fit into the roof, forming the roof covering itself, with no slates or tiles behind them, to give the sleekest, most discreet of finishes. Both Solfit and Viridan are manufactured from all metal and glass components, with no flamable plastic backing sheets involved, unlike some cheaper alternatives.The Solfit panels overlap and interlock with each other to break up the line of the panels and create a slightly stepped affect up the roof similar to how tiles and slates have an overlapping stepped effect up the roof. The Viridian Solar panels by contrast, use small flashing strips between the panels to create an entirely flat plane of panels.
Smart-grid integration
Our solar and battery options are fully configured to allow for integration with the smart grid, allowing for the batteries to be charged from cheap rate energy tariffs such as Octopus Go, Flux, Cosy, Agile, as well as excess solar generation. Virtually all your electricity used can come from solar or cheap rate electricity at as low as 1/3 of standard prices..Our solar PV systems are all MCS certified and eligible for export payments for any exported electricity.
Free, fast quote and survey bookings
Our dedicated office team are usually able to work up a free initial design and quote options within 2-3 days of your enquiry, followed by a survey, and final quote. We're then usually able to offer installations within 2-4 weeks, sometimes faster if required.To request a quote, survey or initial design consultation, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Commercial solar installation experts
Leeds Solar have vast experience in the design and installation of roof mounted commercial solar PV systems on all commercial roof types. Our team have installed solar PV systms on factories, warehouses, schools, nursing homes, museums, high rise student accomodation and office blocks, cricket and rugby clubs, community centres, shops and prestigious new developments.Some recent examples of our non-domestic solar PV installations include:
Darley Street Markets, Bradford
Leeds Solar installed 168 solar panels across 6 roof faces of the prestigious new Darley Street Market building in Bradford.This was a challenging solar installation on a single ply warm roof construction, using specialist Nicholson fixings fixed to the glue laminate beams, with a post through the rockwool insulation, then hot-welded cover to the single ply membrane to support the framework above.
The solar installation was paired with an SMA core 1 50KW inverter with 6 MPPT inputs and SMA Shadefix technology used to mitigate the shading from the surrounding roof elements.
Wooltex Spinning Company, Huddersfield
After Leeds Solar installed 50kWp of panels on their original Factory in 2012, it was a pleasure to be part of Wooltex growth by installing a 765 panel 386kWp solar PV system across multiple metal and flat roofs of their new Huddersfield factory.The solar installation is connected via a pair of SMA Core 1 110kW inverters with all 12 MPPT trackers on each inverter used to maximise the generation potential from the 220kW grid connection permission for the site.
The National Railway Museum, York
Leeds Solar were honoured to be selected to design and install a 265kWp solar PV installation across the roof on the National Railway Museum's Station Hall redevelopment.This project featured exacting design and installation standards, with 19 separate solar panel arrays across 4 roof faces required to be in perfect alignment, all external tray work to be powder coated to a specific RAL number to blend in with the roof, and all arrays and electrical connections to be safely accessible for future safe cleaning and maintenance access iun accordance with CDM regulations.
The solar panel arrays were paired with 200kW of 3 phase Solis inverters, which are wired in to provide a signficant proportion of the Museum's electrical demand.
Tomrods Steelworks, Thirsk
Our team installed 730 solar panels across 2 south facing trapezoidal metal roof faces, as well as a vertically mounted section of panels fitted to the South facing wall of Tomrods Steelworks in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. The vertically mounted panels are winter optimised, giving double the winter generation per kWp of the roof mounted panels to maximise the overall generation possible across the year within the 150kW grid connection limit for the site.This installation is connected using 3 x SMA core 1 50kW inverters with 6 x MPPT inputs use to balance the generation across the arrays.
Castleford College
A 154 solar panel, 70kWp solar PV array installed using Van Der Valk low ballast, zero penetration flat roof mounting system across the single ply membrane roof of the new Construction Skills Centre building at Castleford College.The installation is being carried out during the construction phase of the building with Leeds Solar acting as the specialist sub-contractor to the electrical contractor for this installation.
Walsden Cricket Club
26 solar panels were installed using A frames on the roof of the stand and changing rooms of Walsden Cricket Club. A wire mesh was also installed to protect the panels from high flying cricket balls. This installation included a 12kW 3 phase Solax IES hybrid inverter and 20kWh of LFP batteries to enable the site to use as much of the generation within the cricket club buildings as possible.An SFS mansafe system was also installed to allow for safe access to the panels for future access and maintenance.
Leeds Jewish Housing Association
Leeds Solar worked as specialist subcontractors to the developers to design and install a 314 solar panel, 110kWp solar PV installation across 4 standing seam roof faces of the new Queenshill assisted living blocks, for Leeds Jewish Housing Association.The system was split into 2 parts, with 1 x SMA Core 1 50kW 3 phase inverter installed in each block.
Joseph Rowntree School, York
Over the 2025 summer holidays, Leeds Solar's team worked to complete the installation of a 349 solar panel, 159kWp solar PV installation across 2 large flat roofs of Joseph Rowntree School in York. The installation was completed to meet the strict deadlines for reopening prior to the school term restarting.
Provence House Care Home, Pocklington
Ahead of the opening of the newly built Provence House Care Home, Leeds Solar were asked to install 510 solar panels across 6 tiled roof faces, with 3 weeks notice until the official opening. Our team pulled out all the stops to complete the installation and remove the scaffolding in phases ahead of this extremely tight deadline.The solar panels are connected using the 12 MPPT inputs of an SMA Core 2 110kW 3 phase inverter.
Alwoodley Golf Club, Leeds
Leeds Solar installed 154 ground mounted solar panels to provide an 81kWp solar PV system to power the club house and club shop at Alwoodley Golf Club in Leeds.Our team assisted with obtaining planning permission for this installation, including producing elevation drawings and carrying out a biodiversity impact assessment.
