Independent solar advice for TQ Surrounding Areas.
The wider TQ postcode is South Hams country, fishing towns, estuary villages, and character properties along a coast that gets the Atlantic full-on. Brixham, Totnes, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, and Salcombe each have their own character, and the surrounding villages each add another layer.
Site visits across the wider TQ area typically happen within two to three days of your call. Dan attends personally from Topsham and flies the drone survey on the same visit.
Fishing-town terraces in Brixham, character stone properties in Totnes, Georgian and Victorian townhouses along the Dart at Dartmouth, and a mix of granite, cob, and modern stock through the South Hams villages. Each roof gets the appropriate design conversation.
South Hams enquiries typically combine bill reduction with resilience, the villages sit on longer feeder circuits and see more winter outages than the town centres. A gateway-integrated battery is a frequent answer.

Every service we offer, delivered in TQ Surrounding Areas.
Solar Panels
Independent design and installer selection for roof-mounted solar systems, tailored to your consumption and roof.
Battery Storage
Store the solar you generate. Use it after dark, cut peak-rate imports, and stay powered during outages.
EV Chargers
Home charging paired with your solar and battery, including OZEV grant guidance where you qualify.
Gateway, Energy Self-Sufficiency
Backup and full self-sufficient setups. Keep the lights on, and still export to the grid.
Drone Surveys
Roof surveyed personally by Dan using a licensed drone and bespoke paid design software, not free web tools.
Free Consultation
A 10–20 minute phone call, no obligation. Honest advice on whether solar makes sense for your home.
Grants & Funding Guidance
Honest, case-by-case guidance on SEG, ECO4, 0% VAT and OZEV grants, so you only pursue the schemes you're genuinely eligible for.
Installer Quote Comparison
Around three like-for-like quotes from our MCS-vetted panel, every installer pays the same commission, so recommendations are based on value, not who pays more.
Ongoing Aftercare & Support
Dan doesn't disappear after install. You keep his direct number and he steps in to resolve any aftercare issue with the installer, whenever it comes up.
A local broker, on your side, not on commission from an installer.
South Hams roof experience. Slate, granite, cob, and character properties are a normal week's work, not an outlier that pushes the design out of scope.
Rural-grid-aware specification. Longer feeder circuits and legacy single-phase supplies are planned for at the survey, not discovered on install day.
Independent by financial design. Every installer on the panel pays the same commission. The recommendation is the installer offering the best fit for your specific property.
Aftercare that survives the installer. Independently underwritten workmanship warranties and Dan's mobile for as long as the panels are on the roof.
The local problems most solar quotes miss.
The wider TQ postcode's issues come from an older housing stock, an Atlantic coast, and rural infrastructure inland.
Salt-air corrosion on coastal properties
Brixham, Dartmouth, and Salcombe all sit close enough to the salt spray zone that marine-grade mounting matters. We spec accordingly on any exposed property.
Character and listed properties in Totnes and Dartmouth
Totnes and Dartmouth centres carry conservation and listed designations. Integrated (in-roof) mounting and a planning conversation usually solves it.
Rural feeder outages inland
The South Hams villages sit on longer feeders that see more winter outages than the coastal towns. A properly specified backup circuit is a genuine upgrade for these households.
Legacy single-phase supplies on rural properties
Farmhouses and longhouses are sometimes already close to supply capacity before a solar-and-EV project. We check the incoming supply at the survey and quote the correct DNO conversation up front.
