Solar Panel Installation in Cathays
Cathays is one of Cardiff's most densely populated areas, home to thousands of students, young professionals and families living in Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses. While many assume solar isn't suitable for smaller properties, GL Solar has successfully installed compact, high-efficiency solar systems on countless Cathays rooftops.
The typical Cathays property features a north-south terraced layout, meaning many homes have excellent east-west roof aspects that work brilliantly for solar. We specialise in maximising generation from these orientations using modern high-wattage panels and optimiser technology. For landlords with HMO properties, solar can significantly reduce utility bills and make properties more attractive to tenants.
With Cardiff University and the city centre on your doorstep, Cathays residents are increasingly environmentally conscious. A 3–4kW solar system on a typical Cathays terrace can generate enough energy to power a shared household, with battery storage ensuring energy is available during peak evening hours when everyone is home.
