Whitchurch is one of Cardiff's most popular north Cardiff suburbs, with an outstanding mix of 1930s semis, post-war homes, detached properties and bungalows that are among the best solar candidates in the city. GL Solar has completed numerous installations across Whitchurch, Rhiwbina, Birchgrove, Llandaff North and Coryton — and our north Cardiff team knows the area's housing stock and roof types inside out.

A typical Whitchurch semi with a 4kW solar system generates 3,500–3,800 kWh per year, saving £600–£900 on electricity bills. The generous roof spaces on Whitchurch's 1930s and post-war semis allow for 4–5kW systems as standard. Detached homes in Whitchurch often accommodate 6–8kW arrays with battery storage — achieving self-consumption rates above 80% and annual savings of £1,000–£1,400.

Whitchurch's housing stock is particularly well-suited to solar. The classic 1930s semi-detached houses that characterise streets like Pantbach Road, Llandennis Road, Station Road and Ty Glas Road feature large south or south-west facing rear roofs with excellent aspect and minimal shading. These properties typically accommodate 4kW systems with 10 standard 400W panels, generating 3,600+ kWh per year.

The detached homes in upper Whitchurch, near Whitchurch Village and along the Wenallt escarpment, have even larger roof areas and often accommodate 6–8kW systems. Many of these homes have large garages ideal for battery storage installation. We install GivEnergy and Tesla Powerwall batteries in Whitchurch garages daily — typically wall-mounted units that take minimal space.
