Small New Build Solar Installation, Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester

Manchester Renewables installed solar PV systems on a smaller new-build development in Greater Manchester. Working alongside the developer, panels were fitted on each plot during the construction phase for a clean, integrated finish with no retrofit costs.

Smaller developments benefit from the same approach we use on larger estates — our team slots into the build programme, installs while scaffolding is up, and wires everything in before handover. The result is the same quality of installation at a lower cost per property.

Each home was fitted with a system sized to meet Part L building regulations and reduce the homeowner's energy bills from the first day they move in. With energy prices continuing to rise, solar on new builds is no longer a nice-to-have — it's expected.

Common Questions

Do you work with small developers?
Yes. We work with developers of all sizes, from single plots to large estates. Smaller developments get the same level of service — dedicated project management, MCS certification, and full aftercare.
Is solar cost-effective on smaller developments?
Absolutely. Installing during construction keeps costs low because scaffolding and roof access are already in place. Per-property costs are slightly higher than large estates but still far cheaper than retrofitting after completion.
What size system do new-build homes need?
Most new-build homes are fitted with 3-4kW systems (8-10 panels) to meet Part L requirements. We can design larger systems if the developer or homeowner wants to maximise generation and future-proof the property.
How many new-build homes have you installed solar on?
Over 2,000 new-build homes across the North West. We work with developers on projects ranging from a handful of plots to estates of several hundred homes.
