Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire
Overview
Seamless Solar, Battery & EV Integration in Cheadle Hulme
This project took place in a modern family home in Cheadle Hulme, where the owners were becoming increasingly aware of how much of their daily life depended on electricity — heating water, running appliances, charging devices and, of course, powering their electric vehicle. They wanted a smarter, more controlled way to manage their energy use, and the idea of combining solar, battery storage and an EV charger offered exactly the kind of long‑term stability they were looking for. Rather than simply lowering bills, they were aiming for a home that could actively work for them, adapting to tariffs, seasons and changing routines.
The property itself was a great match for a renewable upgrade. The roof had the right pitch and orientation for an in‑roof solar array, and the internal layout offered enough space for a neatly installed battery system without compromising storage or living areas. The homeowners were also keen on keeping everything visually clean — no cluttered cabling, no bulky equipment dominating the garage, and no installations that felt like an afterthought. They wanted a system that looked intentional, modern and built to last.
The Renewable Planet team began by mapping out how the family used energy throughout the day. This helped shape a system that didn’t just generate power, but actively supported the way the household functioned. The solar array was designed to capture as much daylight as possible, feeding clean energy into the home before topping up the battery for later use. The EV charger was integrated so the family car could take advantage of both solar generation and low‑cost overnight tariffs, giving the homeowners flexibility no matter the weather or time of day.
Installation was carried out with a focus on subtlety and organisation. The in‑roof solar panels sit flush with the tiles, giving the property a sleek, modern look. The battery system was positioned to keep the plant area tidy and accessible, and the EV charger was installed in a spot that made daily charging effortless. Every detail — from cable routes to equipment placement — was chosen to keep the system discreet and intuitive.
Today, the home runs with a level of efficiency the owners had never experienced before. It generates its own power, stores low‑cost electricity overnight and charges the family’s EV without fuss. What once felt like a typical suburban home in Cheshire now operates as a smart, self‑sufficient energy hub — one that quietly saves money, reduces carbon impact and supports the family’s lifestyle with almost no input required.

Disley, Cheshire
Overview
Solar and Heat Pump Installation in Disley
This project took place in a modern family home undergoing a full energy upgrade. The homeowners wanted a system that would make the house warmer, more efficient and far less reliant on the grid, but they were also keen to avoid major disruption during the process. Their goal was simple: create a home that felt comfortable every day of the year while quietly reducing running costs in the background. With rising energy prices and a growing interest in renewable living, the timing felt right for a complete clean‑energy transformation.
The property in Disley, Cheshire offered an excellent foundation for this type of installation. There was ample outdoor space for a heat pump, along with a well‑positioned roof area ideal for solar generation. The internal layout also allowed for a neatly integrated battery system, giving the homeowners the ability to store excess solar power and use it later in the day. With the right design, the home could move away from traditional heating and towards a smarter, more sustainable setup that worked with the family’s lifestyle rather than against it.
The Renewable Planet team began by assessing how the home used energy throughout the day — when heating demand peaked, how hot water was consumed and how much electricity could realistically be offset by solar. This helped shape a system that didn’t just generate renewable energy but actively supported the way the household functioned. The heat pump was positioned to maximise efficiency and airflow, while the in‑roof solar array was designed to blend seamlessly with the property’s appearance. The battery system was installed in a way that kept the plant area tidy, accessible and future‑ready.
Throughout the installation, the focus was on delivering a solution that felt natural within the home. Pipework was kept discreet, equipment was positioned with long‑term serviceability in mind and every component was configured to work together as a single, intelligent energy system.
Today, the house benefits from a reliable heating system, smart energy use and the ability to store solar power for evenings and cloudy days — all working quietly in the background. What was once a standard family home in Disley is now a highly efficient, low‑carbon property that reflects the growing shift toward renewable living across Cheshire.

Bollington, Macclesfield
Overview
Renewable Upgrade on a gorgeous property in Bollington, Macclesfield
This project took place during a full renovation of a modern home in Bollington, just outside Macclesfield — the perfect moment to rethink how the property was heated, powered and future‑proofed. With new rooms being added, layouts reconfigured and contemporary living spaces taking shape, the homeowners wanted a renewable system that would deliver reliable warmth, lower running costs and long‑term energy efficiency. A renovation of this scale offered the ideal opportunity to integrate a Heat Pump, Solar Battery system and upgraded plumbing without the compromises that often come with retrofitting.
As the renovation plans developed, it became clear that the property had excellent potential for a complete renewable transformation. There was suitable outdoor space for a high‑performance Heat Pump, strong roof orientation for solar generation and the chance to install new pipework and electrical infrastructure throughout the home. By approaching the project holistically, the homeowners could ensure that the heat pump, solar array, battery storage and hot‑water system all worked together seamlessly, maximising efficiency and minimising energy waste.
One of the most important design decisions was the installation of an in‑roof solar system rather than traditional on‑roof panels. This choice offered several key advantages. Visually, the in‑roof array sits flush with the new tiles, creating a clean, modern and highly professional finish that complements the renovated home. For a property undergoing a full transformation, this sleek appearance was a major priority — the homeowners wanted renewable technology that enhanced the architecture rather than appearing bolted on.
The in‑roof design also prevents the common issue of pigeons nesting beneath panels. Traditional on‑roof systems create sheltered gaps that birds often exploit, leading to noise, mess and long‑term maintenance problems. By choosing an integrated in‑roof system, the homeowners avoided this entirely, ensuring a quieter, cleaner installation that will remain trouble‑free for years to come. Combined with a Solar Battery setup, the system now captures and stores clean energy efficiently, reducing grid reliance and supporting the heat pump throughout the year.
Throughout the project, our team worked closely with the renovation contractors to coordinate timelines, access and installation stages. This ensured that pipework routes, cylinder placement, heat pump positioning and electrical runs were all planned with long‑term performance in mind. Every component was installed at the optimal moment within the build schedule, avoiding rework and ensuring a smooth, efficient process.
Now completed, this modern Bollington home benefits from a warm, efficient and low‑carbon energy system that operates quietly in the background. The combination of a high‑performance Heat Pump, sleek in‑roof solar array and Solar Battery storage has transformed the property into a future‑ready family home with significantly reduced running costs and a much smaller environmental footprint — a standout example of renewable living in the Macclesfield area.

Wilmslow, Cheshire
Overview
Whole-Home Solar and Plant room Transformation, Wilmslow
A beautifully renovated home in Wilmslow — spacious, modern and designed for long-term family living. With three floors of living space, multiple bathrooms and generous open-plan areas, the property needed a heating and energy system that could deliver consistent comfort, low running costs, and future-proof performance.
The house was already undergoing a wider refurbishment, making it the perfect moment to integrate a full renewable upgrade. With plenty of roof space for solar, room for heat pumps, and a dedicated plant room, the property was ideally suited for a whole-home renewable energy transformation that would work quietly in the background while keeping every room warm.
To achieve this, Renewable Planet designed and installed an integrated energy solution tailored to the property’s needs. High-efficiency solar PV panels generate clean electricity throughout the day, while a battery storage system captures excess energy for use during the evening and periods of high demand. An air source heat pump provides efficient, low-carbon heating and hot water, working seamlessly alongside underfloor heating to maintain a comfortable indoor climate across all three floors.
Every element of the system was carefully planned to maximise energy efficiency, reduce reliance on the grid, and provide long-term savings for the homeowners. Today, the home feels effortlessly comfortable — warm floors, steady temperatures, and a reliable supply of hot water — all powered by clean energy from the sun and stored in the home’s battery system. The result is a highly efficient, future-ready property that combines modern luxury with sustainable living, giving the family greater energy independence while significantly lowering carbon emissions and ongoing energy costs.

Alderley Edge, Cheshire
Overview
Warm Efficient Home, Alderley Edge
The property is a well‑loved family home in Alderley Edge — solid, traditional and full of character. Like many older British homes, it was originally built around a gas‑boiler heating setup that struggled to keep the house consistently warm, especially during the colder months.
The layout includes a mixture of original rooms and later improvements, which meant the heating system had to work hard to push warmth evenly throughout the home. Before the upgrade, the owners often found that some rooms heated quickly while others lagged behind, and the house could feel chilly during winter cold snaps.
Despite these challenges, the home had huge potential for a modern, efficient energy system. With good roof space for solar panels and enough external area for heat pumps, it was an ideal candidate for a full renewable transformation.
What makes this project stand out is how seamlessly the new technology blends into the character of the home. The in‑roof solar panels sit neatly within the roofline, the heat pumps operate quietly outside, and the Powerwalls are tucked away, providing reliable energy storage without intruding on the living space.

Compstall, Cheshire
Overview
A Renewable Transformation In Compstall, Cheshire
A characterful Compstall home — part 18th-century barn, part mid-century extension — underwent a full renewable energy transformation to solve long-standing issues with cold, draughts and damp. The homeowners wanted a system that delivered comfort, efficiency and long-term resilience. Their builder recommended Renewable Planet, and the result is a complete step-change in how the home feels and performs.
This project required genuine whole-system design, not simply swapping equipment. The home’s mixed construction — thick stone barn walls combined with a mid-century extension — meant heat loss, pipe runs and zoning needed careful planning. Every element of the installation had to work together efficiently while respecting the unique character of the property. Detailed heat loss calculations and careful system design ensured that each area of the home received the right level of heating, creating a balanced indoor environment that remains comfortable throughout the year.
Renewable Planet designed a fully integrated solution combining an air source heat pump, underfloor heating, solar PV panels and battery storage into one coherent system. The renewable technologies work together to maximise energy efficiency, reduce reliance on the grid and provide a reliable supply of heating and hot water all year round. Today, the homeowners benefit from warm, evenly heated living spaces, lower energy bills and a significantly reduced carbon footprint, while preserving the charm and character of this distinctive Stockport home for future generations.
Client Testimonial
