Solar Panels Tiverton
M&E Contrax Renewables installs solar panels for homes and businesses 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 homeowners and businesses in Tiverton, solar panels are a practical long-term investment with payback periods typically between 7 and 9 years.

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.

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.
See our case studiesBattery 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity in daylight and can perform consistently across the seasons. Output is typically higher in summer and lower in winter, which is normal for UK solar.
0% VAT applies to all domestic solar and battery storage installations. The Warm Homes Local Grant, through Devon County Council, can fund solar for eligible lower-income households in Mid Devon. For oil-heated properties, the £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant (July 2026 to March 2027) is available for heat pump installation. We advise on all grant options at the survey stage.
Listed building consent is required for any works to a listed building, including solar panel installation. We check the listing status and assess the options at the survey stage. In some cases, solar can be installed on outbuildings or in positions that do not affect the character of the listed building and require only a simpler consent process.
No. South facing roofs can be ideal, but east and west facing roofs can also work very well, especially when the system is designed around your usage pattern and usable roof space.
Yes. We install solar panels across Plymouth and nearby areas including Saltash, Plympton, Plymstock, Ivybridge, Tavistock and Wembury. If you’re just outside these areas, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability.
Shading can affect output, but it doesn’t automatically rule solar out. We assess shading patterns and design the layout to reduce its impact as much as possible.
