Local Surrey expertise in planning permission and regulations
If you live in Surrey, you’ll know that every home is different, from modern new builds to character properties and listed buildings. That means installing solar panels can sometimes involve local planning rules and building requirements.
But that’s where working with a local installer who knows their stuff really pays off. While planning permission isn’t usually an issue for Surrey homeowners, we know the process well. We’ve helped homeowners throughout the county get the green light for their installations.
Get a personal approach to the installation process
At Going Green Renewables, we take the time to get to know you and your property. We’ll chat through how you use your energy, look closely at your roof layout, help you select the most suitable solar panels, and design a setup that fits your lifestyle and budget perfectly.
That personal touch means your solar system is tailored specifically to you, helping you maximise efficiency, cut your electricity bills, and get the best possible return on your solar investment.
You’ll always know who’s working on your home, and our friendly Surrey-based team will always know what’s happening at every stage of the process. We don’t subcontract or cut corners. We’re here to make sure your solar panel installation is done right the first time, with care and attention to detail.
Competitive pricing and efficient service
Choosing a local team like ours often works out to be better value. Because we’re a smaller team based right here in Surrey, we don’t have huge overheads or have to travel far. That means we can keep our prices competitive while still delivering top-quality installations that stand the test of time.
And you can still be confident that you’re receiving top-quality products. We only use solar products from trusted manufacturers like Tesla, myenergi, and Enphase, so your system still meets the highest industry standards.
Dedicated customer service and aftercare
Because we’re local, we get to know our customers well, and many of them have already heard of us through friends or family.
If you’re looking for that personal service and speedy responses (which, let’s be honest, are crucial when dealing with solar technology), we can deliver. We’re not a huge team working nationally to support 100s of customers daily. We’re a close-knit, passionate team that loves what we do. This means that when you work with us, you’ll have a direct point of contact – someone you can go to for advice, to answer your questions, or to quickly resolve any issue you might have.
And we can easily help after the installation too, by setting up financially savvy schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) and providing ongoing maintenance.
Comprehensive renewable energy solutions
The best renewable energy solutions are those that fit seamlessly into your modern lifestyle. Our local Surrey technicians understand this, which is why we look at your solar setup as a whole, not just your roof space and panels.
If you’re looking to make your life easier and more sustainable, we’ll design a solar solution that integrates everything you need for complete energy independence.
Battery storage integration
Want to use your own electricity around the clock? Battery storage is the way to go.
We specialise in recommending and installing solar battery systems that store excess electricity generated during the day so that you can use it later. This helps you reduce energy costs, maximise self-consumption, and keep your home up and running even during a power cut.
Electric vehicle (EV) charging
Do you drive an electric car? Save money by integrating EV charging into your solar panel system.
We integrate your solar system with your home, providing efficient infrastructure to power your electric vehicle, further cutting down your fossil fuel reliance and maximising your renewable energy usage.

Frequently asked questions about local Surrey solar installers
How long does the installation process take?
We find that installing solar panels in Surrey usually takes between one and three days to complete. It really depends on the size of your system and the shape of your roof, but we’ll always let you know what to expect before we get started.
At your consultation, we can work out the best days and give you a clear timeline so you have as little disruption to your day-to-day life as possible. And rest assured, we’ll keep you updated if there are any hiccups along the way.
How do I know if local installers are accredited?
Always check your installer’s certifications on their website or by calling up. At a minimum, they should be MCS-certified (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) and registered with a body such as RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code).
Going Green Renewables is fully accredited, experienced, and trusted by leading manufacturers, giving you peace of mind that your solar PV panels are installed safely and in line with UK standards.
Will installing solar panels increase my property value in Surrey?
Yes, solar panels can increase your property value. Many Surrey residents find that homes with renewable energy systems are more attractive to buyers who want lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. And, with the added benefits of battery storage and EV integration, your home becomes more energy-efficient, future-ready, and appealing to eco-conscious buyers.
