Use more of your own electricity
A useful system starts with your daily demand, not a target panel count.
Residential solar / Chiswick
Solar panels and batteries in Chiswick.
A Chiswick solar project needs a design that works with the property, including its roof details and any planning restrictions. REX helps homeowners weigh the usable panel area against their electricity demand and the value of adding battery storage.
Your Chiswick project
Start with what the property needs.
The useful result is a system you understand: how it fits, what it is expected to generate and where a battery may help.
A roof-specific layout
Check usable space, roof condition and shading before choosing equipment.
Storage with a purpose
Compare battery capacity with spare daytime generation and evening demand.
Room for future plans
Include planned renovations or changes in electricity use in the design.
A clear installation plan
Agree access, equipment positions and cable routes before work begins.
Realistic expectations
Review the generation estimate, assumptions and costs together.
Local considerations
A closer look at the property.
Roof details deserve a closer look
Some Chiswick properties have roof forms that leave less uninterrupted space than the footprint suggests. The Bedford Park appraisal describes prominent tiled roofs, gables and chimney stacks. On a property like this, the starting point is a measured layout that respects those details and checks shading and fixing requirements.
Check the address, not just the area name
Hounslow guidance identifies additional controls in Bedford Park and part of Gunnersbury Park. Chiswick addresses should be checked against the relevant local authority and designation, not a general rule for the neighbourhood. Planning conditions and listed status can also change what is needed for a particular proposal.
Why REX
From the survey to a clear proposal.
Share the address, recent electricity usage and any building plans with REX. We can discuss the roof survey, solar layout and whether storage belongs in the project. The proposal should set out equipment, expected generation, access and the work included, with any consents resolved before installation.
Before you decide
Solar questions in Chiswick.
Why check the local authority for a Chiswick address?
The property's address and planning designations determine which guidance applies. Hounslow and Ealing both publish information relevant to parts of the wider Chiswick area. Confirm the responsible authority and any restrictions before relying on a planning assumption.
Can panels be placed around gables and chimneys?
The survey can assess the remaining roof space and likely shading. A neat, well-spaced layout may be more suitable than trying to fill every gap. The proposal should explain the practical panel area and any resulting limits on output.
How much will a system cost?
The price depends on the panel layout, electrical work, access and any battery specification. Ask for an itemised proposal for the property, with the assumptions behind the generation and savings estimates. A headline package price is not a substitute for a survey.
What should I send before the first conversation?
The property address, an electricity bill or usage summary, roof photographs if available, and any plans for building work. If the property is leased or listed, include that information too.
Does a battery automatically provide backup power?
No. Backup needs suitable equipment and a design for the circuits it will support. If power-cut cover matters to you, make that a separate requirement from ordinary solar storage.
Can I add storage to existing solar?
It needs a compatibility and electrical review. Share the existing panel and inverter details, system age and available space so a suitable approach can be assessed.
