Solar Panel Installation in Solihull
Two sides to Solihull: affluent homes and busy business parks — we cover both.
Impression Electrical & Building installs solar and battery storage for Solihull homes, and commercial solar for its businesses and business parks. We handle larger residential systems and three-phase commercial roofs alike, from survey to handover. Established 2019.
Solihull has two solar markets sitting side by side. There's the affluent residential side — larger detached homes with the roof space for a substantial system — and the commercial side, with the business parks around the borough and out towards the NEC and Birmingham Business Park.
We work across both, which matters because a big house and a commercial unit are genuinely different jobs: different roofs, different supplies, and different reasons for going solar in the first place.
Solihull sits about twenty minutes north-east of our Redditch base, on the way towards Birmingham.
Domestic solar for Solihull homes
The larger detached homes across Solihull often have the roof area for a system that covers a real share of the household's use, paired with a battery to hold the daytime surplus for the evening.
With more roof to work with, layout and appearance both come into play. We design for generation first, but on a prominent house the look of the array matters too, and we take that into account.
Commercial solar for Solihull businesses
For businesses on Solihull's parks and estates, solar is about cutting the electricity you buy during working hours. We design against your consumption data and the roof structure, on supplies that are usually three-phase — the heavier supply most commercial premises run on.
Our nearest large commercial job is just up the road at Birmingham Business Park: 50kW and 300 panels on a fragile roof worked off boards. That's the kind of work we take on across the Solihull side.

20kW solar and 20kW storage across multiple outbuildings at Lapworth
A rural Warwickshire property on a three-phase supply, with the array spread across several buildings and the DC runs in underground ducting. We presented three designs and specced the right kit, not the cheapest. Site consumption fell by 40%.

Solar in Solihull: your questions
Do you do both domestic and commercial solar in Solihull?
Yes. We install solar and battery for Solihull homes and larger commercial systems for its businesses and business parks. They're different jobs, and we're set up for both.
How big a system can a large Solihull home take?
It comes down to usable roof area, orientation and how much power the household uses. Larger detached homes often support a substantial array plus storage. We size it to your actual use rather than filling every tile.
Can you install commercial solar on a three-phase supply?
Yes. Most commercial premises run on three-phase, and larger installs are designed for it. Our Birmingham Business Park system nearby was a 50kW, 300-panel commercial install, so this is core work for us.
Do you handle the whole commercial job, including a fragile roof?
Yes. We survey, design and install, and we plan around the building. At Birmingham Business Park the roof was fragile enough that we worked entirely off boards and replaced damaged tiles as we went.
