Solar Panels in Clevedon

Clevedon is a charming Victorian seaside town just 5 miles south of our Portishead headquarters, with a population of 21,398 and an average house price of £391,448 — reflecting its affluent, retirement-friendly demographic, where 26.5% of residents are aged 65 and over. The town's older demographic and larger homes make it a strong market for premium solar PV and battery storage. Clevedon has two conservation areas and an Article 4 Direction (in place since 1976) that may require planning permission for solar installations on some rooftypes in the historic core — D&R Energy's experience with heritage properties ensures we navigate these requirements smoothly.

The town features handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas along the seafront and on Hill Road (the premier independent shopping street), plus large detached properties on The Avenue and Edward Road averaging £831,000–£1.08M. Modern estates on Clevedon's eastern fringe feature contemporary roof designs with no planning constraints. At just 5 miles from our Portishead office, Clevedon customers enjoy the fastest response times in our service area after Portishead itself.

What Our Customers Say

Solar PV + Battery
“Had a 4.5kW system with a GivEnergy battery installed last spring. The whole process from survey to switch-on took less than three weeks. The team were tidy, punctual, and took time to explain everything. Our bills have dropped dramatically and the south-facing rear of our Victorian villa is perfect for generation.”

A typical 4.5kWp domestic solar PV system in the Bristol area costs approximately £7,600 including installation and 0% VAT. Smaller 3.6kW systems for 2-3 bed homes start from less, while larger 6-7kW systems for 4+ bed properties cost more. D&R Energy provides free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing based on a property survey.

Most homes require 9-18 solar panels depending on electricity usage, roof size, and orientation. A 2-3 bed home typically suits a 9-panel 3.6kW system, a 3-4 bed home works well with 12 panels (4.5kW), and larger 4+ bed properties benefit from an 18-panel system generating 6-7kW. D&R Energy designs every system individually based on a detailed property survey.

The South West of England receives the highest solar irradiance in the UK! Solar panels in Bristol and Somerset consistently generate 950-1,100 kWh per kWp annually — up to 15% more than the national average. Even on cloudy days, modern panels produce significant electricity from diffuse daylight.

We install premium Jinko Solar and Exiom panels, paired with Growatt and GivEnergy inverters. These are tier-1 manufacturers chosen for their proven reliability, efficiency, and performance in UK conditions. All our installations are MCS certified.
