Solar Panels For New Builds

Installing solar panels during the construction phase of a new property is the best way to generate renewable power. With integrated wiring, design and no need for later retrofitting, solar energy becomes part of your home’s foundation from the very start. At AJM Electrical, we work with both homeowners and developers in Somerton to design and install high performing solar PV systems for new builds. Every installation is carefully planned to meet energy regulations, maximise performance and support long term sustainability.

Designed For Modern Homes

Today’s new homes are built with energy efficiency in mind. Solar panels help meet modern building standards and provide a clean, reliable source of electricity for everyday use. Our systems are designed to complement the architecture and energy goals of each property. By planning installation during construction, we can integrate panels, cabling and inverters neatly into the build, avoiding disruption and unnecessary alterations later on. Solar PV can also improve a property’s EPC rating and help achieve Part L compliance by reducing overall energy demand. For developers, this supports SAP assessments and sustainability targets while adding long term value for buyers.

Supporting Government Initiatives & Sustainability Goals

Installing solar panels in new homes not only supports national sustainability goals but also qualifies for zero percent VAT on renewable installations. Under the Smart Export Guarantee, homeowners can also receive payments for excess energy exported back to the grid, improving return on investment over time. By investing in solar PV at the build stage, you create a home that is energy efficient from day one and ready for a low carbon future.

Installation For Developers & Homeowners

Whether you are building a single property or managing a larger development, our installation process is efficient, compliant and adaptable to your project needs.

For developers, we can design consistent solar solutions across multiple plots, ensuring systems meet building targets and handover requirements. For individual homeowners, we provide tailored designs based on roof type, power usage and long term performance goals.

All work is carried out safely and in line with current regulations. We also provide full system testing and commissioning, ready for sign off and energy registration. We also offer domestic and commercial voltage optimisation to further improve the energy efficiency of your new build home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do New Builds Need Solar Panels To Meet Building Regulations?

Most new properties benefit from solar PV to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations, which requires improved energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. Solar energy contributes directly to meeting these standards.

Can I Add Battery Storage To A New Build Solar System?

Yes. Battery storage can be installed alongside your solar PV system during construction, providing energy flexibility and reducing reliance on the grid.

How Do Solar Panels Affect EPC Ratings?

Solar PV systems can significantly improve a property’s Energy Performance Certificate rating by reducing grid electricity use and increasing renewable contribution to overall energy supply.
