We work on everything from Georgian town houses and Victorian terraces to large, modern detached homes, and each system we install is designed specifically to suit that property, as well as the homeowner’s energy usage and solar goals.

At My Green Energy we always start by assessing your roof, the available space for solar panels, and how you use energy throughout the day. Then we recommend a system designed around what will actually work for your property and budget.
People have different priorities when it comes to solar power. You might want to slash your bills, reduce your reliance on the grid, maximise your roof space, cut your carbon footprint, or a combination of reasons. We listen to what matters most to you and recommend a setup that’s practical, effective and built to last.
With the right solar system installed at your property, it can:
If you’re measuring up solar panel installers in York, we can make the switch straightforward, with tidy installation and reliable aftercare.
Great solar performance requires a system that’s designed around your property, not an off-the-shelf package.
And that’s exactly what we do. We build your system around your roof type and layout, as well as your personal priorities, to make sure it’s the perfect fit for you.
York is an ancient city and consequently has a huge variety of housing ranging back as far as the medieval period in some cases. It has many Georgian and Victorian homes in particular, with character roofs, chimney stacks, slate tiles and orientations that we need to consider carefully when making a recommendation.
Listed buildings and conservation areas are other issues we need to explore during the site assessment stage. And then further out from the city centre and into surrounding towns we find larger detached properties with more usable roof space and energy-generating potential. Whatever your property and wherever you live in the York area, our 20+ years of experience mean we can get the best result from whatever your home offers.

The wide range of property types and ages in York mean bespoke system design is a must. A solar setup needs to be built around your roof and home specifically in order for it to be effective.
When working on properties in York we consider factors such as roof orientation, pitch, shading from neighbouring buildings and chimneys, the type of roof covering and the amount of usable space. And for older buildings we often have to plan around awkward layouts and multiple roof sections, while choosing components that sit sympathetically with the property’s appearance.
Different systems work better for different homes, so for some a compact system will deliver best, while others with more roof space have the potential for a broader layout and better long-term returns. Whatever your home is like, we’ll make a plan that suits it perfectly.
How much solar panel installation will cost for your York property depends on factors like the size of the system, your roof layout, site access, and your chosen specification.
However, if you want a general idea of cost, installed systems start from:
The final figure will vary according to the system specification, scaffold requirements, roof arrangement and any additional installation work needed.

Property type: Detached house
Location: York
System size: 14.2kW / 32 panels
Battery storage: No
The homeowner of this large detached house spent a significant amount of time at home throughout the day, meaning electricity use was pretty consistent and the potential for savings from solar installation were significant. One of their main goals was to reduce their high energy bills.
To help them do this we designed and installed a 14.2kW system across 32 solar panels. We sized this system to meet the property’s energy demands, while making sure to consider the aesthetic of the home and its surroundings.
Outcome: Considerable savings on their energy bills

“Ed looked at my roof and told me the trees would block too much sunlight. He said I’d only get 40% of what other companies quoted. He could’ve taken my money – but he didn’t. When we removed the trees a year later, I called him straight back.”
“Finally, a solar company that doesn’t feel like a sales pitch. Oscar walked us through every number, showed us exactly what we’d save, and never pressured us once. Eight months in and the savings are spot-on with what he predicted.”
We only supply high quality products from some of the most trusted manufacturers in the industry.
We offer a range of products to account for circumstances where aesthetic appearance has preference over maximising savings.
Yes, in most cases. A system designed around your home can reduce your grid reliance and your energy bills. If we don’t think solar panels would make sense for you, we’ll tell you.
Yes, absolutely. Georgian, Victorian and even older properties are common across York, and while older roofs come with their own challenges, we’re very experienced in designing systems that work, whatever the age of your home.
For most standard domestic properties planning permission isn’t required, though York does have conservation areas and listed buildings where additional rules may apply. Rest assured, we’ll highlight anything you need to know during our assessment.
Yes, they do. Output is unsurprisingly greater on sunny days, but solar panels generate energy even in very overcast conditions. Solar performs well across the UK, and York is no exception.
For most installations you’re looking at one to two days. Sometimes it takes a little longer, depending on the size of the system you choose and the complexity of your roof.
Yes, this is usually possible. We’ll chat to you about your options when we install your solar panels, but adding battery storage later is normally doable.
If you’d like to know more about the benefits of solar panel installation for your York property, we’d love to hear from you. We’re experts in designing systems that deliver the best possible value and returns.
