5 Star Review for Wired by Jessops (Cornwall) icon.
We were recommended Wired by Jessops from our neighbour that had a solar installation last year. From start to completion we were really happy with the level of professionalism and expertise that Jessops offered, we did the usual three quotes despite Jessops being ever so slightly more expensive than the cheapest quote it seemed a obvious choice to go with them for our 6Kw system , with the battery top up we now run our EV off this too.Since having our home installation we then went ahead with a 40kw system on our commercial unit that we financed through Jessops too.Joe and the team were brilliant and being a little OCD I needed the finish to be impeccable and they delivered on this too.I can’t recommend this company enough !

Typical Solar Costs and Savings in Cornwall

Solar installations in Cornwall typically cost between £9,000-£15,000 including batteries. With current energy prices, most customers see payback periods of 5-8 years.

Many customers tell us the returns beat savings accounts. Instead of earning 4-5% interest, you're saving 20-30p per unit on electricity you'd otherwise buy from the grid.

We don't offer instant finance or pushy sales tactics. After Joe's site visit, you'll get a detailed proposal to consider properly. This is a significant investment that deserves proper thought.

Solar PV Panels Cornwall

Your Questions Answered

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Cornwall?
Most residential solar installations fall under permitted development rights and don’t need planning permission. We only recommend seeking planning permission for properties in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or for large ground-mounted systems.
How long do solar panels last in Cornwall's coastal climate?
Solar panels are built to last 25–30 years, backed by manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years. Cornwall’s salt air is tougher on equipment than inland areas, which is why we fit panels and mounting systems designed to cope with coastal conditions. With minimal upkeep, most systems keep generating strongly for decades.
Can I add batteries to existing solar panels?
Yes, battery storage can be added to most existing solar installations. We assess your current system during a site visit and recommend compatible options, whether that’s Tesla Powerwall, Sigenergy, or another brand. Some setups need minor modifications, which we handle as part of the installation.
What happens during a power cut with solar and batteries?
This depends on your battery system and backup setup. Tesla Powerwall includes whole-home backup as standard, switching to battery power within moments of an outage. Other systems can be configured for backup too. We’ll talk through your needs and recommend the right setup during your site visit.
How much roof space do I need for solar panels?
Most homes need around 20–30m² of roof space for a typical system, though this depends on your energy usage and the panels chosen. Joe checks your exact roof space, orientation and any shading during the site visit, then designs a system that fits your property rather than a generic layout.
Do you service solar panels after installation?
Yes. Every installation includes a 5-year workmanship warranty, annual maintenance visits, and remote monitoring so we can spot any dip in performance before it affects your generation. Manufacturer warranties cover panels for up to 30 years and batteries for 10–12 years.
What makes Tesla Powerwall different from other batteries?
Tesla Powerwall offers 13.5kWh of storage with whole-home backup as standard, 97% round-trip efficiency, and Storm Watch, which automatically charges the battery to full when severe weather is forecast. As Tesla Approved Installers, we also get priority access to parts and technical support. That said, we’re brand-independent: Sigenergy and other systems suit some homes better, and we’ll recommend what’s right for yours.
How quickly can you install solar panels in Cornwall?
Installation itself usually takes 1–2 days depending on system size and roof complexity. From initial enquiry to switch-on, most projects take a few weeks once scaffolding, DNO approval and any electrical upgrades are factored in. We’ll give you a clear timeline after Joe’s site visit.
