We've also sourced information regarding the geographic areas covered by each local installer, some of the solar brands each works with and when each installer was incorporated.
You can also use a larger UK-wide solar panel installer (read about these companies in our best solar panel installers research) but if you want a local Midlands company, we hope the list below is a useful resource to get your started in your research.

Of note: Project Solar UK is known as one of the largest solar power installers in the UK—this is supported by their recent financial filings at Companies House, which stated the company had over £93 million of turnover. In contrast, the vast majority of local solar panel installers are small enough that they don't need to include their turnover in their annual financial reports. While they are headquartered in Staffordshire, they operate on a national scale.
The companies listed above are based in the Midlands, maintain active 2026 MCS certifications, and have achieved Trustpilot ratings of at least 4.5 out of 5. This list can be a starting point for your research, but of course, there may be other solar panel installers more suited to your needs. The above list is meant to show local companies based in the East and West Midlands, but there are many other companies that are based elsewhere. To learn about other companies that might be able to install in your area, check out our articles on North of England solar panel installers and Solar panel installers in Wales.
And for further information, we'd like to mention that there is one other nation-wide installer based in the Midlands, Geo Green Power (TrustScore 4.5).
You can also check Google Maps for other solar installers in your area, and you can even ask neighbours with solar panels about their installers. We've found neighbours to be a great source of information—and people with solar panels typically love to talk about them!
Are you not sure if you should go with a large UK-wide company or a smaller, local company? Below we discuss some of the pros and cons of each.
Should I use a local Midlands solar panel installer or a large UK-wide installer?
When deciding which type of installer to use—smaller, local vs. larger, national—here are some factors to keep in mind:
Pros and cons of using a larger company
A larger, UK-wide company might be better at the following:
- Quick quote turnaround
- Offering lower prices due to volume discounts on hardware
- Deep product knowledge (e.g., if they exclusively work with a limited set of flagship products)
A larger company might be worse due to the following:
- Installation teams are often outsourced or contracted out to third parties
- Limited manufacturer options (e.g., they may only offer one or two types of panels)
- The initial quote and technical survey might be conducted online or over the phone rather than on-site
One other point to keep in mind: most of the national installers have been in operation for many years, so it feels like they're more likely to still be in business for years to come. If you prefer a local installer to a large national installer, you might want to check to see how long they've been in business to ensure they will be around to honour their warranties.
Note: 'Online' or 'phone-only' quotes and technical surveys are great for efficiency—you can often get a quote in literally minutes. However, an on-site technical survey can save you time in the long run and ensures the system is truly optimised for your roof. For example, it can be difficult for remote software to accurately estimate how many panels can actually fit around complex roof lines or chimneys. If your roof is small, you need a physical survey to safely maximise your panel count.

Pros and cons of using a local Midlands-based company
A local company might be better at the following:
- Installation teams are much more likely to be in-house staff rather than sub-contractors
- They possess hyper-local knowledge of the 'sunniness' and weather patterns in your specific area (ensuring accurate generation estimates)
- More personalised "hand-holding" customer service
- They are physically nearby in case of hardware faults or warranty claims
- They default to on-site quotes and physical roof surveys
- They are generally more open to sourcing specific equipment or panel brands you desire
A local company might be worse due to the following:
- Quote turnaround and installation wait times might be slower
- Because they do less volume, they may not be able to pass on the massive bulk-buy discounts that national brands offer
