Installation of 10 solar panels, a MyEnergi battery and car charger. Max and the team were well organised, excellent communicators and methodical with their work.. the work was completed on time and everything was tidy when they left. No great demand for cups of tea, but nevertheless grateful when they received them :).
I would highly recommend max and his team. Amazing professionals at there craft. We had solar pv fitted at our property with 16 panels and battery storage. The whole process was made smooth and prompt and super tidy from start to finish. Nothing was to much hassle and they made me a family feel at ease throughout.
We were looking for a local installer with great reviews having been seriously messed about for nearly a year by GET. From first contact with Max, to installed system was around 6 weeks and process was really smooth and efficient. We are really happy with the quality of the work by Max and his team. We would definitely recommend, Max and his team if you are looking for painless design, specification and install of Solar.

07 Questions from Chislehurst

Chislehurst is on London Power Networks (LPN), run by UK Power Networks. Any solar, battery or EV charger install is notified to them under the G98 or G99 process, which Coutts handle as part of every job.
PVGIS models about 4,178 kWh a year for a 4 kWp south-facing array at Chislehurst's coordinates, assuming an unshaded roof at 35°. East- or west-facing roofs produce less, and a survey is the only way to size a real system.
DESNZ recorded 4,093 solar PV installations in the London Borough of Bromley at the end of 2025, up 68% since 2020 — about 3.0% of its estimated 135,800 households.
Most roof-mounted solar on a house in England is permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 14, Class A of the General Permitted Development Order 2015, subject to its conditions. Listed buildings and some conservation-area roofs facing a highway are treated differently, so check with London Borough of Bromley council before work starts if either applies.
