Solar Energy for Landlords
At Simple Solar, we design solar systems that fit how rentals work — tenants, turnovers, and portfolios.
We’ll recommend only what makes sense for the property and the payback. Panels, batteries, EV charging — or just solar done properly.
Clear pricing. Strong returns. No gimmicks.
Solar is an investment in your property portfolio, not a cost
Most landlords start saving from day one. After payback, your system keeps producing for years — with minimal maintenance and strong warranties. It’s one of the few upgrades that can reduce bills, support EPC improvement, and add long-term value at the same time.

FAQs
Questions we’re commonly asked
Do tenants need to be home for the install?
Not always. We’ll agree access in advance and plan the least disruptive approach. If tenants are present, we keep everything tidy and clearly communicated.
Will solar work if tenants change often?
Yes. Solar is attached to the property, not the tenant. It keeps adding value and reducing running costs regardless of who lives there.
Can I earn money by exporting energy?
Often yes, via SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) if the system and meter setup are eligible. We’ll guide you through what’s required.
Does solar help with EPC?
Solar can support better efficiency outcomes by reducing electricity demand from the grid. EPC results depend on the property, heating type, and current rating — we’ll advise what’s realistic.
Is planning permission needed?
Most residential installs are permitted development, but there are exceptions (listed buildings, conservation areas, unusual roof situations). We’ll confirm during the assessment.
What warranties and maintenance are involved?
Solar is low-maintenance. You’ll typically have strong product warranties and long performance guarantees depending on the system. We also provide monitoring and aftercare support.
What do you need from us to price it up?
Your address, a recent electricity bill (or annual kWh), and a quick idea of how the building is used (daytime, evenings, weekends). If you have roof photos, even better—but not required.
Can you quote for multiple properties?
Yes — and it’s one of the best ways to keep costs efficient. We can standardise equipment and create a rollout plan across your portfolio.
