Solar Panels Derby
Solar panels harness the sun’s energy, providing a clean and renewable source of electricity
Solar Panels Installation Derby
At Ipsum Renewables we install solar panels for homeowners and businesses – we can cater to flat roofs, traditional tiled roofs and even ground-level solar panels. We install solar panels and solar battery storage for customers across Derby, Matlock, Ashbourne, Swadlincote, Chesterfield, Buxton and all the surrounding areas.
Solar panels capture the sun’s energy, harnessing its power for use in our homes and businesses. And it’s all down to photovoltaic (PV) cells. It’s these cells which convert sunlight into electricity, which can then be used to run household appliances and lighting.
The technology has risen in prominence and popularity over the years, generating a surge in installations as people look to enhance their green credentials, cut their carbon footprint and reduce their household energy bills. And now, thanks to falling installation costs the technology is more accessible than ever. So there’s never been a better time to invest in solar.

Solar Panel Brands We Work With









The number of solar panels you need depends on several factors, including your energy consumption, the size and orientation of your roof, and your location. By booking a free survey with our team, we can identify exactly what size system will be most beneficial for the property.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a flat roof. However, there are some considerations and installation methods to keep in mind when installing solar panels on a flat roof:
- Tilted Racking Systems
- Ballast or Weighted Systems
- Wind Considerations
- Roof Material and Condition
- Maintenance Access
- Local Regulations and Permits
- Weight Distribution
All of the above will be considered on a site survey by one of our experts.
To learn more about these considerations in our blog post: Solar Panel Considerations for Flat Roofs.
Yes, you can install solar panels on both east and west facing roofs, but it’s important to understand how the orientation and tilt of these panels will affect their energy production.
To learn more, see our blog post: East and west-facing solar panels vs south-facing panels.
Yes, you can install solar panels on a slate-tiled roof, but it requires special consideration and expertise to ensure a proper installation that does not damage the roof and maintains its integrity.
Keep in mind that the installation of solar panels on a slate roof can be more complex and costly than on other roofing materials.
However, when done correctly, it can be a sustainable and energy-efficient choice that preserves the beauty and functionality of your slate roof.
Unfortunately, there are no specific solar panel grants, but the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, requires your energy supplier to pay you for exporting excess electricity to the grid. The rates vary by supplier and the time of day, but generally range from 1p to 16p per kWh.
Yes you can, and with Ipsum it’s simple. Thanks to our finance partners, you can spread the cost of your solar panel system, with simple, monthly instalments. See our finance details here, or contact our team for more information.
For most homes and businesses, you will not need planning permission to have solar panels. However, if your property is a listed building, or in a conservation area, you may need permission from the local council. If needed, we can help you with this.
Yes – if you want to benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, you will need to tell your supplier when your solar panels will be installed. You will also need a smart meter.
