About this guide

An independent guide to solar on Crewe homes, written for the people who live in them and the people who let them. It is not a solar company and it does not point you to one.

Why Crewe needs its own guide

General solar advice assumes an owner-occupier with a detached roof. Crewe is a different shape. The railway company’s listed cottages sit in a town centre where most households rent, many live in flats and a notable share heat with electricity alone, while the outer wards are owned semis. Each of those changes who decides, which rules apply and what panels are for. The guide takes them one at a time and shows its sources.

Who it is written for

  • Tenants who want to raise solar with a landlord and need to know what to ask for.
  • Landlords working towards the EPC rule for rented homes.
  • Owners of terraces and semis deciding which roof face to use.
  • Flat dwellers and leaseholders, where the roof belongs to someone else.
  • Owners of the listed railway cottages, whose route starts with the council.

What stays off these pages

Savings promises and payback periods, because they rest on a tariff and a pattern of use we cannot see. Opinions about individual buildings, because a planning officer or a surveyor has to see them. Firm names and rankings, because the checks that matter are ones you can run on any firm yourself. Where a decision belongs to the council, a landlord or a lease, the page says so instead of guessing.

What it never does

  • Install, sell, survey or design anything.
  • Speak for Cheshire East Council or any grant or group-buy scheme.
  • Arrange finance, give financial advice or assess grant eligibility.
  • Phone anyone: questions arrive through the form and answers go back by email.

Protections it points you to

Certification under MCS for the technology being fitted; a consumer code approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, such as RECC or HIES; an insurance-backed guarantee standing behind the workmanship warranty; TrustMark registration where a scheme requires it; the firm’s Companies House record; and written quotes that commit you to nothing. Choosing an installer takes each in turn.
