Excellent service from start to finish
“Couldn't be happier with the service we received. From the initial enquiry right through to the installation, everything was handled professionally. The team took the time to explain the whole process, answered all our questions and made sure we understood exactly what to expect. The installers arrived on time, were polite and respectful of our property, and left everything spotless when they finished. It's refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely cares about its customers. Would highly recommend to anyone considering solar.”

Couldn't fault the installation team
“Really impressed with the entire experience. The installation team were fantastic from the moment they arrived. They were organised, hardworking and very respectful of our home. They explained what they were doing as they went along and took the time to answer a few questions I had. Once everything was completed, they made sure the area was clean and tidy before leaving. The whole process was much easier than I originally expected. Excellent company and excellent service.”

Great communication throughout
“One of the things that stood out most was the communication. From the initial consultation to arranging the installation, we were always kept informed and never had to chase for updates. Everything happened when we were told it would, which made the whole experience stress-free. The team were approachable, professional and happy to answer any questions. It's clear they care about providing a good service rather than simply making a sale. Very pleased with our decision.”

Honest advice and no pressure
“We initially contacted the company just to explore whether solar would be suitable for our home. We were pleasantly surprised by how helpful and straightforward the whole process was. Everything was explained honestly, and we were given time to consider our options without feeling pressured into making a decision. The service continued to be excellent once we went ahead, and the installation team were brilliant. Would definitely recommend speaking to them if you're thinking about making the switch.”

Fantastic experience from a local company
“Always prefer supporting a company that takes pride in its work, and these guys certainly delivered. From the first visit, everyone was friendly, professional and approachable. The installation was organised well, the team worked efficiently and everything was left clean and tidy. It's been great dealing with a company where you can actually speak to someone and get proper answers to your questions. Couldn't ask for much more.”

What would it save you?
Three taps, nothing to fill in. Set up for Leeds and West Yorkshire roofs and today’s price cap.
Who is it for?
What kind of home?
Typical size for this home: 3.5 kW. The survey sizes it to your roof and bills.
Indicative. Assumes 850 kWh per kWp a year here, a typical roof (0.9 factor), 26.32p import (the Ofgem cap rate) and 8p export. Bill savings only, flat prices. Your figures are confirmed in a free survey.
Already got a quote?
Send it over and we will go through it with you, line by line. Then the installation team surveys the same roof and puts their price in writing, so you are comparing like with like.
One quote tells you a price. Two tell you whether it was a fair one.
What we look at
The system size, against what you actually use
Which panels, inverter and battery it names, if it names any
Scaffolding, the consumer unit and anything quietly left off
Whether it can be fitted and invoiced by 31 March 2027, while it is 0% VAT
We take the enquiry, check it stacks up and book the survey. The MCS-certified installation team does the survey, the quote and the fitting. Nothing to pay until you accept a fixed quote.

Within one working day. The roof, the bills, how you use power and whether a battery earns its keep. Then we book the survey.

Step 3: The survey and a fixed quote
The MCS-certified installation team measures up and sends a fixed written quote. No obligation and no today-only discounts.

The installers
Step 4: Fitted, certified, handed over
Usually a day or two on site. You get the MCS certificate and the warranties in your name, and you still have our number.
This is the bit that hurts. The house is empty and the roof is at full tilt, so without a battery your best power goes to the grid for about 8p a unit.
Running on: The roof, and the battery is filling
6pm
Everyone's in, sun's off
Oven on, telly on, washing machine on. That is 26.32p a unit from the grid, unless you saved some of this afternoon for yourself.
Running on: The battery
11pm
That's the battery's shift
The sun has clocked off and the lights are still on what your roof made at lunchtime. On a 3.5 kW system exporting about 1,500 kWh a year, keeping it is worth roughly £395 against £120 for selling it.
Running on: Still the battery

Do solar panels really work in Leeds?
Yes. Panels run on daylight rather than heat, and West Yorkshire gets around 850 kWh per kWp a year (PVGIS). A 3.5 kW system on a typical roof makes about 2,678 kWh a year here. A grey day still generates, just less of it, and most of the year's output arrives between April and September.
Who actually fits the system?
The MCS-certified installation team, who have over 10 years and hundreds of installs behind them. AFL Solar takes your enquiry, rings you back and books the free survey. The installation team then surveys, gives you a fixed written quote and fits it. Their name and MCS number are on the quote, and the MCS certificate at handover is what your export tariff and home insurer will ask for.
How much does solar cost in Leeds?
There is no price list, because scaffolding, roofs and consumer units differ too much for one to be honest. A survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing, with 0% VAT if the job is invoiced by 31 March 2027. The calculator on this page shows what a system should save, which is the number that matters more.
When does 0% VAT on solar end?
On 31 March 2027. From 1 April 2027 the rate on panels and home batteries is 5%, confirmed in the Budget on 28 October 2026. The rate follows the tax point, normally the invoice date, so the system has to be fitted and invoiced in time. Paying a deposit does not lock the rate on the balance.
Is there a grant for solar panels?
Not for most homes. Everyone gets 0% VAT until 31 March 2027 and can claim the Smart Export Guarantee. Lower-income households with an EPC of D to G can apply to their council for the Warm Homes: Local Grant: Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Calderdale have funding, and Kirklees is not on the GOV.UK list (as of 6 November 2026).
Is a battery worth it if I already have panels?
Usually, if the house is empty in the day. Most of your solar then goes to the grid for about 8p a unit, and you buy it back in the evening at 26.32p on the current price cap. On a 3.5 kW system exporting about 1,500 kWh a year, storing it is worth roughly £395 a year against £120 earned.
Do you cover my area?
If you are in an LS, WF, BD, HD or HX postcode, yes. That is Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax and the towns between. Harrogate, York, Skipton, Barnsley and Selby are by arrangement. The postcode box on this page answers it straight away, or call 07442 511817.
What happens after I send the form?
One of us rings within one working day to talk through the roof, your bills and a good time for the survey. The installation team then visits, measures up and sends a fixed written quote. You decide in your own time, and nobody keeps ringing you.
