Power Your Property with Clean, Renewable Energy

Your energy bills have probably been climbing lately, and that’s exactly why Leatherhead folks are switching to solar. You can cut your electricity bills by up to 70% while adding real value to your property in this desirable Surrey spot. The government’s helping out too with 0% VAT on home solar systems and the Smart Export Guarantee that actually pays you for extra power. Surrey County Council wants to hit net-zero by 2050, so your solar panels aren’t just saving you money – they’re helping the whole community reach its green goals.

Why Go Solar in Leatherhead?

Leatherhead is a lovely market town that sits right at the gateway to the Surrey Hills, just 17 miles from Central London, and gets over 1,450 hours of sunshine every year. That’s brilliant news for solar panel installation in Leatherhead. The way the town sits where the chalk hills meet the Thames lowlands means you get fantastic solar exposure all year round.

Here’s something more about living in Surrey – the county council has this fantastic Solar Together scheme that’s saved residents 34% on their solar installations. Since 2021, they’ve added 10MW of clean energy across Surrey. That’s a lot of happy homeowners who’ve made the switch, and it shows how committed everyone is to clean energy around here.
