About Kent Solar & Battery
One enquiry, matched to solar installers who work near you
Kent Solar & Battery is a free matching service for Kent homeowners and small businesses who are thinking about solar panels, a home battery, an EV charger or a repair to an existing system. Instead of ringing round installers one by one, you describe your property and goals once. We pass your enquiry to vetted local MCS-certified solar and battery installers working in your area, from Dartford and Medway to Canterbury, Thanet and Folkestone. They look at your roof, shading and electricity use, and quote you directly. Whether solar suits you depends on your property, so a proper survey comes first. You choose who to use, and your agreement is with that business. Kent Solar & Battery is managed by Astute Management in Gravesend.

Solar and battery questions from Kent homeowners
Is Kent Solar & Battery a solar company?
No. Kent Solar & Battery is a free matching service. We pass your enquiry to vetted local solar and battery installers, who survey, quote and carry out the work. Your agreement is with the business you choose.
Does it cost anything to use?
No. Sending an enquiry is free and there's no obligation to accept any quote.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Usually not for panels on a house roof, provided they meet permitted development limits, including not projecting more than 200 mm from a pitched roof. Listed buildings and some walls and roof enclosures in conservation areas are treated differently. Check the Planning Portal or your council.
Which parts of Kent do you cover?
All of Kent, organised into 12 areas: Dartford, Gravesend, Medway, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Canterbury, Thanet, Folkestone and Hythe, Dover and Deal, and Swale.
How are solar and battery installers vetted?
We check that businesses are established local firms with appropriate insurance and MCS certification. You should still look up their certification on the MCS website, ask whether they belong to a consumer code such as RECC or HIES, check how deposits are protected and agree a written contract before work starts.
