How We Design a Solar PV System for Your Blackpool Home - West Coast Electrical

Investing in solar panels is a smart move, but a well-designed system is what really makes the difference. 

At West Coast Electrical, we take the time to understand your home, energy usage and future goals before designing a bespoke solar PV system. If you’re based in Blackpool or the surrounding areas, here’s how we make sure your solar setup is just right for you.

Understanding Your Property and Energy Needs

Before any panels go on your roof, we carry out a detailed site assessment. We look at your roof size, angle, and shading to work out how much solar potential your property has. South-facing roofs tend to give the best results, but we can also work with east or west-facing aspects using optimisers and clever system layouts.

We also take into account any future changes you might be considering, like adding an electric vehicle, heat pump, or home extension. This helps us future proof your system so it continues to meet your energy demands for years to come. Understanding how and when you use electricity allows us to maximise your savings and efficiency.

Choosing the Right Components

Once we understand your home and usage, we design a solar PV system using high-quality components from trusted brands. We install panels from Aiko, Jinko, and Eurener, each offering excellent efficiency and long warranties for peace of mind. For mounting systems, we use Fastensol, Esdec, Van der valk, and Schletter to ensure a secure, long-lasting fit—essential in coastal areas like Blackpool where weather conditions can be more demanding.

The inverter is the heart of your system, converting solar energy into usable electricity, and we only use reliable options from Alpha ESS, Enphase, and Tesla. If you’re interested in energy independence or protection during power cuts, we can integrate battery storage such as the Tesla Powerwall 3 or Alpha Smile. Every component is chosen based on performance, durability, and how it suits your specific setup.

Final Design and Installation Plan

After tailoring your system size and components, we provide a full design layout and projected performance figures—so you know exactly what to expect in terms of savings and payback. We use advanced software to calculate your estimated generation based on real Blackpool weather data, so everything is as accurate as possible.

As MCS-certified and RECC-accredited installers, we ensure every system meets the highest industry standards and qualifies for incentives like the Smart Export Guarantee. Once you’re happy with the proposal, our experienced installation team takes care of the rest, working efficiently and tidily to minimise disruption. We also handle all the paperwork, including DNO applications and registration, so everything is compliant and stress-free.
