Supplied and installed battery for my existing solar panels. Excellent communication throughout. Work completed effectively and all mess cleared up. App installed on my phone and ongoing support available if needed. Would recommend this firm.
Great service and price, Max follows up with paperwork and emails. So pleasant to find a proactive supplier
I have just had a Solar system installed by Coutts and the experience from start to finish has been first class. The support in designing a system to meet my requirements was excellent, the team that carried out the installation where first rate and the commissioning and explanation as to how I work with the new system was great. I would thoroughly recommend Max and his his team to provide a great service from start to finish, big thanks.
I had a bank holiday DIY emergency and needed someone to come out and make it safe and get our power back on. Coutts answered and Max was round within a couple of hours. Really easy communication, no hassle and easy to deal with, will definitely be using them for future jobs.
Very happy with electrical work undertaken by Max of Coutts Electrical, and his team. They installed an electric radiator and new light in the kitchen. They offered advice and were professional and tidy. Would highly recommend.
Max responded very quickly to my request to review an electrical fault and efficiently dealt with the issue. I’m delighted that I’ve found Max and will definitely be calling upon him for any future electrical work.
Max and his team installed my original solar panels a few years ago and have been back more recently to install the electrics for a heat pump and increase the number of panels. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat for any job you might have
Max and his team did a great job fitting anti-bird blockers around my solar panels, and removing the pigeon dirt and grime from the roof and gutters - not the pleasantest of jobs! Very efficient and prompt.
Max was very friendly, responsive and helpful in advising us when we needed some solar panels installed by the previous owner temporarily removed to allow for a new roof and an internal light switch fixed. Max and his team were excellent in removing the panels, cleaning them and reinstalling them with some new brackets as we changed the type of roof tile. Rearranging the time to reinstall them due to delays to the roofing caused by bad weather was not a problem. Would definitely use them again. Thanks
Very efficient service from Max and Alex. They made completing an Electrical Condition Report and then repairs where required in or office seamless and not intrusive at all. Really great for peace of mind. Thank you
07 Questions from Croydon
Every answer below is built from the sourced figures on this page.
Croydon is on South Eastern Power Networks (SPN), 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 4,104 kWh a year for a 4 kWp south-facing array at Croydon'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 5,161 solar PV installations in the London Borough of Croydon at the end of 2025, up 62% since 2020 — about 3.4% of its estimated 152,900 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 Croydon council before work starts if either applies.
