01 Solar PV Installation

Solar panel installation engineers in Kent

Installing solar panels is not about selling hardware — it is about designing a system that works safely within your electrical infrastructure and is suited to your requirements.

Our solar installations are designed by electricians who understand load balancing, protection, fault conditions and future expansion. With over 30 years of combined experience, our team delivers solar PV systems for both domestic and commercial properties, engineered to last and easy to live with.

We guide you through every stage, including surveys and monitoring, so you understand exactly how your system is performing and when it is delivering. Our role does not end once the panels are installed — we remain available long after commissioning.

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.

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

I wanted a rather specialised solar system for which I'd tried to get other companies to quote for in the past. Max and his team came to do a site survey and after a few emails back and forth to iron out the details, they delivered me exactly what I wanted. Everything happened exactly when they said it would and the system was commissioned on-time and on-budget. The site was left spotless. I have nothing but praise for Coutts Electrical Contractors.

Quite simply the best customer service I've experienced ever.Max and his team fitted our solar panels just over a year ago, and they were great throughout the process.But what really stood them apart was when we recently had an issue with a small leak around one of the panels. I emailed Max on a Sunday night, and by 0830 Monday morning scaffolding was up, the panels removed, the issue isolated and fixed, and the internal damage repaired.How a company responds when an issue arises tells you a lot, and they were absolutely first rate. Thank you Max and team 🙏🙌☀️

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 :).

Fantastic experience end to end. Max from Coutts designed, engineered and installed a Solar PV system with Battery for me at the house. Everything was done on time as planned, system performs really well, right size for the property, great documentation, real-time data, all very tidy and professional. I don't often write reviews, but I'd definitely recommend Coutts if you want a quality solar install.

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.

I had solar panels, an inverter, a storage battery and a Zappi EV charger installed. Max, Alex and Steve did a cracking job and were very efficient with their time. They started nice and early and explained their plan to me and answered all my questions. The quality of work was superb, everything measured and lined up perfectly. They finished in exactly the time they planned and tidied up everything and took all the packaging with them! I would thoroughly recommend Coutts Electrical to carry out your work, they are a great team and work together well. I will be using their services again when I increase my battery storage. Thanks for a brilliant job :-)

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 is a legend! Super professional and conscientious from start to finish. Answered all my questions in full. Customised the install to meet my needs. Wasn't at all salesy or pushy like many other solar installers.

08 Questions

Asked
most often.

How much are solar panels?

Our guide pricing starts from £9,500 for a 4kWp system with 10kWh of battery capacity. The full guide-price table, everything included as standard, and the VAT position are set out on this page above — every quote is still priced to your own usage profile, time of use and available roof space.

Which size system do I need?

Determining the appropriate size for your solar panel system involves considering factors like your energy consumption, roof space, and local sunlight conditions. Begin by assessing your average daily energy usage, which can be found on your electricity bill. We will confirm the right size for your property at survey.
