01 Services in Croydon

Coutts Electrical Contractors Ltd installed 11 Nr. rooftop solar panels for us and we were very pleased with the service we received. The installation was completed within the estimated time and a full set of handover documents was provided. Ahead of the installation we had several queries and they were always answered promptly and thoroughly. The arrangement of the solar panels is producing good results for us.
We are delighted with the service provided by Coutts Electrical for our solar panel installation. They were efficient, responsive and worked to a very high standard. Highly recommended.

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.
