Solar panel installers in Cullompton

M&E Contrax Renewables installs solar panels for businesses and homes in Cullompton and the surrounding EX15 area. We are based in Newton Abbot, around 30 miles from Cullompton via the A38 and M5, and our team covers Mid Devon for solar PV and battery storage installations. We are MCS-accredited and NICEIC-approved.

Cullompton is a fast-growing Mid Devon market town. The combination of established residential streets in the town centre, significant newer housing development to the north and east, and commercial and industrial activity at Junction 28 of the M5 makes it a market where both commercial and domestic solar enquiries are active.

For homes

Domestic solar in Cullompton

Cullompton’s housing stock ranges from older Devon stone properties in the town centre conservation area to substantial modern housing developments on the town’s expanding edges. Newer builds in areas such as Bullring and the northern expansion are well-suited to solar, with consistent roof orientations and accessible roof structures. The town sits in the Culm Valley with reasonable solar exposure and irradiance figures that match the wider Mid Devon area.

For Cullompton homeowners on mains gas, the Smart Export Guarantee is the primary financial mechanism alongside electricity bill savings. For those on oil heating in the surrounding rural EX15 parishes, the combination of solar and a heat pump makes a strong case, particularly with the £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme uplift for off-gas properties available from July 2026.

For businesses

Commercial solar in Cullompton

The Junction 28 commercial and industrial area at Cullompton is home to logistics, manufacturing, and distribution businesses with significant roof areas and daytime electricity consumption. Commercial solar at these premises typically delivers strong returns, with the Annual Investment Allowance allowing the full installation cost to be offset against taxable profits in year one.

We design commercial systems from actual site consumption data and DNO requirements. For premises near the M5 corridor, the DNO connection arrangements in this part of Devon are generally straightforward for systems under 50kWp.

Battery storage

Battery storage in Cullompton

For Cullompton properties, adding battery storage to a solar installation means storing surplus daytime generation for use in the evening and overnight. This is particularly valuable for rural properties where the electricity price is standard but evening demand is high, and for properties planning to add an EV charger or heat pump that creates a significant evening electricity load.

We install Tesla Powerwall, Fox Energy Storage, and Pylontech across Cullompton. Battery system sizing is based on your actual consumption profile.

FAQs

Cullompton FAQs

Does my roof need to face south to benefit from solar?

No. South facing roofs can be ideal, but east and west facing roofs can also work very well. The best setup depends on your roof space, shading, and when you use electricity.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Devon?

Many installations don’t require planning permission, but rules can vary for listed buildings and conservation areas. We’ll advise during survey if any additional steps may apply.

Do you handle DNO approval if it’s required?

Yes. If your system needs DNO notification or approval, we will confirm what applies and manage the process as part of the installation, explaining any export limits or next steps clearly.
