Working in Wigan
Sitting between Lancashire and Greater Manchester, Wigan is squarely within our core coverage. Domestic solar, battery retrofits, EV charge points and commercial rooftop work.
Covering Wigan from Westhead
Wigan sits a short run from our base at Westhead near Ormskirk, reached comfortably via the A570, A577 and the M6 corridor that runs straight through the borough. Standish, Shevington, Orrell, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Golborne, Leigh, Hindley and Aspull are all within normal working distance for a free survey, an installation visit and any aftercare that follows, without the job being passed to a subcontracted regional installer along the way.
Mill and mining heritage housing, alongside newer estates
Much of Wigan's residential stock reflects its industrial past: rows of former mill and colliery terraces close to the town centre and along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, interwar semis further out, and larger modern estates around Standish, Shevington and Beech Hill. Terraced roofs are often smaller and can carry chimneys, party walls or older slate that needs checking before mounting equipment, while newer estate roofs are typically more straightforward but can be shared or overlooked by neighbouring properties. We survey each roof on its own terms rather than quoting a standard package.
Industrial estates and the M6 corridor
The borough carries a significant amount of industrial and distribution floor space, from Robin Park and Kirkless to Bryan House Business Park, Ashton-in-Makerfield's industrial estates and the logistics units clustered near Junctions 25 and 26 of the M6. Large flat and pitched warehouse roofs in these locations are well suited to commercial rooftop solar, and the strong daytime electricity demand typical of warehousing and light manufacturing lines up well with solar generation.
Grid and network context
Wigan falls within the Electricity North West distribution area. Export capacity varies by substation, and some of the borough's older residential feeders and industrial estates can have less headroom than newer developments, so a DNO check forms part of our free survey rather than something raised after equipment has already been ordered. Where a formal application is needed, we submit and manage it as part of the job.

Services
What we install in Wigan
Solar PV
Solar PV Installation
From mill-town terraces near the town centre to larger detached roofs around Standish and Shevington, we size each solar PV system to the property and its actual electricity use rather than a fixed package.

Battery
Battery Storage Installation
Battery storage suits Wigan's mix of family housing well, letting households use more of what they generate in the evening rather than exporting it for a fraction of the price of buying it back.

Battery
Battery Retrofit for Existing Solar
Plenty of Wigan homes fitted solar before storage was affordable; a retrofit adds a battery to your existing array and inverter setup without disturbing the panels you already own.
Read more
EV Charging
EV Charge Point Installation
OZEV approved installation for commuter households along the M6 corridor and estates around Ashton-in-Makerfield and Golborne, wired and certified by our own electricians.

Commercial
Commercial Rooftop Solar
Warehouse and light industrial roofs at Robin Park, Kirkless and the estates near Junctions 25 and 26 of the M6 carry substantial unused area well matched to daytime commercial demand.

Commercial
Commercial Ground-Mount Solar
Where a Wigan commercial site has spare yard, verge or paddock land rather than roof space, a ground-mount array can be a stronger fit, with better orientation and easier access for maintenance.

Commercial
Solar Car Ports
Business parks and larger sites off the M6 corridor can turn existing staff or fleet parking into a generation asset while sheltering vehicles and hosting EV charge points.

Why choose us in Wigan
One in-house team, start to finish
Design, installation, electrical work and commissioning for Wigan projects are carried out by our own team rather than being handed between subcontractors, so accountability stays in one place from first survey to final sign-off.
Accreditation covering the whole job
We are MCS certified for solar PV and battery storage, NAPIT registered and Part P certified for the electrical work, RECC registered for consumer protection, CHAS accredited for health and safety, and OZEV approved for the EV chargepoint grant scheme.
Guarantees that back the work
Installations carry a 2 year workmanship guarantee, insurance-backed through QANW, alongside manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters and batteries, so cover extends well beyond the day we finish on site.
Free survey, no pressure quote
Every enquiry from Wigan starts with a free site survey and a written quote typically returned within 1–2 working days, giving a clear, itemised basis for comparison before you decide anything.
Local conditions
What makes Wigan properties different
Older terraces and colliery-era housing
Terraces close to the town centre, around Scholes, Whelley and along the canal corridor, were often built for a very different era of roofing and electrics. Slate condition, chimney positions and original consumer units all need checking before a system is designed, so what looks straightforward from the street is confirmed properly at survey rather than assumed.
Mixed roof orientations on estate housing
Estates around Beech Hill, Orrell and Standish can present roofs facing away from due south, with adjacent properties casting partial shade at certain times of day. We model actual orientation and shading rather than assuming a best-case output figure, so any quote reflects what the roof will realistically generate.
Industrial roof condition and loading
Many of Wigan's warehouse and industrial roofs date from different decades of construction, with varying loading capacity and roof coverings. A structural check forms part of the feasibility survey for any commercial rooftop or car port project, so the design fits the building rather than a generic template.
Feeder capacity on older residential and industrial circuits
Some of Wigan's older residential streets and long-established industrial estates sit on distribution feeders with less spare capacity than newer developments. We check export headroom with Electricity North West during the survey, so any formal application is submitted early rather than discovered as a delay once a system has already been specified.
Our process
How a Wigan job runs
- 01
Enquiry and free survey
You get in touch with your postcode, property type and recent electricity bills. We arrange a free site survey, travelling out from Westhead to assess the roof or land, the electrical supply, and any structural or shading factors specific to the property.
- 02
Design and written quote
We design a system sized to actual consumption rather than a standard package, and typically return a written, itemised quote within 1–2 working days of the survey.
- 03
DNO checks and any applications
Where the system needs a formal application to Electricity North West, we handle the submission and manage it through to approval rather than leaving you to chase it.
- 04
Installation and commissioning
Our own installation team carries out the electrical and mounting work, then commissions the system, sets up monitoring and hands it over with the relevant certification.
- 05
Aftercare
The 2 year workmanship guarantee, insurance-backed through QANW, applies from handover, and our in-house servicing department is available for ongoing maintenance across Wigan.
Common questions
Wigan questions, answered
Do you cover Wigan?
Yes. Wigan and the surrounding areas, including Standish, Shevington, Orrell, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Golborne, Leigh, Hindley and Aspull, are within normal working distance of our Westhead base for survey, installation and aftercare.
How much does solar or battery storage cost in Wigan?
There is no fixed price list, because cost depends on the roof or land, the system size and your electricity use. Every enquiry starts with a free survey and a written, itemised quote, typically returned within 1–2 working days.
Do you work on both domestic and commercial properties?
Yes. We install solar PV, battery storage and EV charging for homeowners and, separately, deliver commercial rooftop, ground-mount and car port projects for businesses and industrial sites across the borough.
Will I need planning permission for solar panels on my Wigan property?
Most domestic rooftop installations fall under permitted development, but this can vary for listed buildings or properties in a conservation area. We check this as part of the free survey rather than assuming it applies.
Do you handle the grid connection application?
Yes. Wigan sits within the Electricity North West distribution area. Where a formal export application is needed, we check capacity during the survey and submit and manage the application on your behalf.
Can I get a battery without solar panels?
Yes. A battery can be installed on its own to take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, and it can also be added later if you decide to install solar afterwards.
Do you service systems you did not originally install?
Yes. Our in-house servicing and maintenance department works on existing solar, battery and EV charging systems across Wigan regardless of who installed them originally.
What happens if something goes wrong after installation?
Installations carry a 2 year workmanship guarantee, insurance-backed through QANW, alongside manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters and batteries. Our servicing department is also available for fault finding and repairs.
