Solar panel installers in Tiverton

M&E Contrax Renewables installs solar panels for businesses and homes across Tiverton and the Mid Devon area. We are based in Newton Abbot, around 25 miles from Tiverton, and our team regularly surveys and installs across the EX16 postcode. We are MCS-accredited and NICEIC-approved.

Tiverton and the surrounding Mid Devon area sits in one of the sunniest parts of inland Devon. The town’s position in the Exe valley, sheltered from the Atlantic weather that affects the North Devon coast, gives it a mild climate with good solar generation potential across the year. For businesses and homeowners in Tiverton, solar panels are a practical long-term investment with payback periods typically between 7 and 9 years.

For homes

Domestic solar panels in Tiverton

Tiverton has a varied housing stock: Georgian and Victorian properties in the town centre, post-war estates across the town’s residential areas, and a spread of rural properties in the surrounding parishes including Sampford Peverell, Bampton, Witheridge, and Crediton Road. Many properties in and around Tiverton have south or south-west facing roof slopes that are well-suited to solar.

For Mid Devon homeowners on oil heating, and there are many in the rural EX16 area, the combination of solar panels with an air source heat pump is increasingly worth considering together. The £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for off-gas grid properties, available from July 2026 to March 2027, makes the switch from oil to a heat pump significantly more financially attractive. Solar panels reduce the running cost of that heat pump by providing daytime electricity from your own roof.

For businesses

Commercial and agricultural solar in Tiverton

Tiverton has a growing commercial base, including businesses at Tiverton Junction, the Lowman Green industrial area, and agricultural premises across the surrounding Mid Devon countryside. For agricultural buildings with large south-facing roof areas, particularly Dutch barns, machinery stores, and grain stores, commercial solar is increasingly one of the strongest returns on investment available, with payback periods on larger agricultural systems often under 7 years.

We design commercial solar systems from actual site consumption data and DNO requirements. For agricultural clients in the EX16 area, we are familiar with the typical grid connection constraints in rural Mid Devon and design systems accordingly.

Battery storage

Battery storage in Tiverton

For Tiverton 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 Tiverton. Battery system sizing is based on your actual consumption profile.

FAQs

Tiverton FAQs

Can I add battery storage to my solar panels?

Yes. Battery storage can be installed alongside solar panels or added later, depending on system design. A battery can help you use more of your solar electricity by storing surplus for use in the evening.

Does M&E Contrax cover Tiverton and Mid Devon?

Yes. We serve Tiverton and the surrounding EX16 postcode area, including Sampford Peverell, Bampton, Witheridge, and the wider Mid Devon area from our Newton Abbot base.

Do you install solar panels in Tiverton?

Yes. We install solar panels for homes and businesses in Tiverton and the surrounding area, with a free survey and no-obligation quote.

Do solar panels work on cloudy days?

Yes. Panels generate from daylight, so they still produce electricity on cloudy days, just less than in full sun.

Should I add battery storage?

A battery lets you use more of your own solar, typically raising self-consumption from around 35% to 70–80%. It can be fitted with your panels or added later.

Do I need planning permission?

Most domestic roof-mounted systems are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas may need consent, and we check this at your survey.
