0% VAT ends 31 March 2027. The job needs fitting and invoicing before then.
Where we work: West Yorkshire

Solar panels across West Yorkshire, batteries where they pay

Two million people, five councils and a wild mix of roofs. Leeds has its back-to-backs, the Calder valley has stone terraces and Wakefield has new estates. A free survey tells you what yours can carry.

How West Yorkshire roofs differ

Five council areas make up West Yorkshire: Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Kirklees (which takes in Huddersfield, Dewsbury and the Holme Valley) and Calderdale (Halifax and the upper Calder valley). AFL Solar books surveys in all five from King Street in Leeds. If your postcode starts LS, WF, BD, HD or HX, you are in. Harrogate, York, Skipton, Barnsley and Selby sit just over the line, so those are by arrangement. Ring us before you assume the answer is no.

Housing is why no two surveys here go the same way. Nowhere in the country has more back-to-back terraces than Leeds, and each of those houses has one usable pitch. Bradford, Huddersfield and Halifax lean towards stone terraces and villas with heavy stone slate on top. Head east to Wakefield and its neighbours and the post-war semis and new-build estates take over, with wide, simple roofs. Solar can go on a 1930s semi in Roundhay, a stone end-terrace in Marsden or a 2015 detached house in Normanton, but the panel count will differ on each. So will the battery, because a family out all day needs a different one from a retired couple at home.

Here is how it runs. Send the form or ring us, and we call back within one working day to go through your roof and your bills. We then book a free home survey with the MCS-certified installation team, who have over 10 years and hundreds of installs behind them. They measure up, look at your consumer unit and check the connection with Northern Powergrid, which runs the network for the whole county. A fixed written quote follows, and you are under no obligation at any stage.

West Yorkshire questions, answered

Not on the list? Ring the number at the top and a person will answer it.

Is all of West Yorkshire covered?
It is. If your postcode starts LS, WF, BD, HD or HX you are covered, from Leeds and Wakefield across to Bradford, Huddersfield and Halifax. Harrogate, York, Skipton, Barnsley and Selby are by arrangement. Type your postcode into the form and you will have the answer at once.
Can I get a solar grant in West Yorkshire?
Most homes cannot. Councils hand out the Warm Homes: Local Grant, and only to lower-income households with an EPC of D to G. Bradford has £6.33 million, Leeds £5.96 million, Calderdale £3.2 million and Wakefield £1.5 million, but Kirklees is missing from the GOV.UK list of successful councils (as of 6 November 2026). Everyone gets 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and the Smart Export Guarantee too.
Do solar panels work in West Yorkshire?
They do. Expect about 850 kWh per kWp a year here (PVGIS), or roughly 2,700 kWh from a 3.5 kW system on a typical roof. The south coast beats that, but this is still plenty to work with. On the current price cap of 26.32p a unit, every 1,000 kWh you use yourself saves about £263 a year.
When is the 0% VAT deadline?
The 0% rate on solar panels and batteries stops on 31 March 2027, and from 1 April 2027 you pay 5%. What counts is the invoice date, so the system has to be fitted and invoiced by 31 March 2027. A deposit will not hold the 0% rate for the balance.
