Cathays is Cardiff's densest and most vibrant neighbourhood, home to thousands of students, young professionals and buy-to-let landlords. The area's Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, while compact, are excellent candidates for solar panel installation — and for landlords, solar panels can significantly increase property appeal and rental yields.

Our Cardiff solar team has installed panels on numerous Cathays properties, from the classic bay-fronted terraces near Crwys Road to the larger houses towards Maindy and Blackweir. We understand the challenges of working in this busy area — limited access, parking restrictions and multi-occupancy buildings — and we plan every installation to minimise disruption.

For Cathays landlords, a 3.5kW solar system can generate 2,800–3,200 kWh per year, reducing communal energy costs and making the property more attractive to tenants. Even on smaller roofs, modern 400W+ panels deliver impressive output per square metre. We offer free surveys across Cathays and can advise on the best approach for your specific property.
