About Tier 1 Solar · Established 2023

A family business that gives honest advice

We're a family-run solar and battery installer working right across Greater Manchester, from our base on Whitelands Road in Ashton-under-Lyne. We do solar the way we'd want it done on our own homes: honest advice, the right-sized system, and people you can get hold of afterwards.

Our approach

How we work

We explain things in plain English, we never pressure anyone, and we won't sell you a bigger system than you need.

Honest advice

If solar or a battery won't pay for you, we'll say so. Our reputation round here matters more than one sale.

Designed around you

We size every system from your real energy use and your plans, rather than selling a standard package.

Local, and staying local

We work across Greater Manchester from our base in Ashton-under-Lyne. If you need us after installation, we're close by.

Stock ready to go

We import our own equipment, with over £1.5m invested in stock. That keeps prices sharp and installs on schedule.

Homes and businesses

From terraced houses to warehouses, churches and solar farms, every job gets the same care.

Aftercare that lasts

Monitoring set-up, health checks and support long after the install is done.

Our standards

Done properly, start to finish

  1. 01

    Free survey, fixed price

    We check the roof, the fuse board and where everything will go, then give you a fixed price with no surprises.

  2. 02

    Designed around your usage

    Panels, battery and inverter sized to how you actually use electricity, not a one-size-fits-all kit.

  3. 03

    Fitted by our own team

    Our installers, our stock, our schedule. We give you a date and we stick to it.

  4. 04

    Grid paperwork handled

    We notify or apply to your network operator (G98 or G99) so you don't have to.

Everything you need, in one place, the day we finish.

  • Electrical installation certificate
  • Network operator (DNO) notification
  • 25-year panel guarantee
  • 10-year battery guarantee
