Helping Landlords Lower Bills and Boost Property Value

Whether you own a single rental property or manage a larger portfolio, solar panels can be a smart long-term investment. With energy prices remaining unpredictable, more tenants are looking for homes that are energy-efficient and affordable to run.

At Solar First, we help landlords across Rutland, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, and Leicestershire install reliable solar systems that benefit both them and their tenants.

Compliant, Hassle-Free Installations

Adding solar panels to your rental property can:

✔ Lower electricity bills for your tenants, increasing the desirability of your property.

✔ Improve your property’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating. Now a key factor in lettings legislation.

✔ Increase your property’s market value and long-term rental yield.

✔ Allow you to promote your property as a greener, more energy-conscious home

If you pay the energy bills as part of the rent (common in HMOs or inclusive rents), solar can directly reduce your operating costs too.

Compliant, Hassle-Free Installations

We understand that as a landlord, you’ve got enough on your plate. That’s why we handle the entire process from site assessment to installation and aftercare. All our solar installations are MCS-certified and compliant with the latest building regulations and landlord obligations.

We’ll guide you through everything, including:

  • Determining if your roof space is suitable for solar PV
  • Understanding the payback period and long-term savings
  • Navigating any permissions or consents required
  • Explaining metering and billing options for tenants

Battery Storage & EV Charging for Landlords

Want to go even further? Battery storage enables your tenants to utilise more of the energy generated on-site, particularly during the evening when usage is typically higher.

You could also consider installing an EV charger - ideal if your rental property includes parking or you want to future-proof for growing demand.

Supporting Local Landlords

We’ve helped landlords across the East Midlands find solar solutions that work for them, from single buy-to-let homes to blocks of flats and light commercial properties.

You’ll get honest advice, fair pricing, and no pushy sales tactics.
