About # About Eco Solar Panels UK [Eco Solar Panels UK](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/) works from 219 Burton Rd, Derby DE23 6AE, installing and looking after solar panels, home batteries and EV chargers across Derby and the East Midlands. ## The work We cover a solar system from the first survey to repairs years later, and we work on systems fitted by other companies as well as our own. - [Solar panels for homes](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/) and [commercial solar](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/commercial-solar-panels/) for workshops, offices and farm buildings - [Battery storage](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/solar-battery-storage/), with new panels or added to an existing system - [EV chargers](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/ev-charger-installation/), including solar-aware models - [Health checks and servicing](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/solar-panel-maintenance/), and [repairs](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/solar-panel-repair/) including inverter replacement and taking panels off for roof work - [Panel cleaning](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/solar-panel-cleaning/) and [bird proofing](https://ecosolarpanelsderby.co.uk/solar-panel-bird-proofing/) ## How we size a system We start with how and when you use electricity, then look at the roof: which way it faces, its pitch, and what shades it. Expected generation comes from PVGIS, the European Commission's solar model, which gives a south-facing roof in Derby about 979 kWh a year per kWp and an east or west-facing roof about 773 kWh. If most of the power from a big system would end up exported, the quote says so and shows whether a smaller system or a battery would give you a better return. ## Rules we work to - BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations, for the electrical work - The national permitted development rules for solar, checked against the right council for your address, including Derby City Council's 16 conservation areas and their Article 4 directions - Notification to National Grid Electricity Distribution within 28 days for normal home systems, or approval before larger systems connect - The makers' installation instructions, so warranties stay valid - Wild bird law, which protects nests while they are in use ## How we price Published Derby price ranges are on this site with their sources, so you can judge any quote against them.
