Manchester's Trusted Solar Installation Specialists
Nova Volt Solar was founded with a simple mission: to make high-quality solar PV accessible to homeowners and businesses across Greater Manchester through expert design, premium components, and impeccable installation standards. From our humble beginnings as a small specialist installer, we've grown into one of the region's most trusted solar companies — yet we've never lost sight of the personal service and attention to detail that defined our early years.
Solar PV is a long-term investment that should perform reliably for 25-30 years. That requires more than just slapping panels on a roof — it demands careful design tailored to each property, premium components from established manufacturers, expert installation by skilled engineers, and ongoing support to ensure systems perform optimally throughout their operational life. These principles guide everything we do, from the smallest residential installation to the largest commercial project.
Our Story
Nova Volt Solar emerged from a recognition that the solar industry needed quality-focused installers who put customer satisfaction ahead of short-term sales targets. Our founding team brought decades of combined experience from the wider electrical and renewable energy sectors, with a shared commitment to delivering installations they'd be proud to put on their own homes.
Over the years, we've installed solar PV systems on every type of Manchester property imaginable — from compact terraced houses in Chorlton to substantial commercial buildings in Trafford Park, from heritage Victorian properties in Didsbury to modern new-builds in Salford Quays. Each installation has reinforced our belief that proper attention to design and installation quality makes the difference between systems that perform brilliantly for decades and those that disappoint within a few years.
Our Values
Integrity in Everything We Do
We believe in honest, transparent dealings with every customer. We'll never sell you something you don't need, never hide costs in the small print, and never pressure you into decisions you're not comfortable with. Our quotations are detailed and easy to understand, our pricing is competitive but never artificially low, and our promises are kept. This approach has built a customer base that increasingly comes to us through personal recommendations from previous customers — the highest compliment we can receive.
Quality Without Compromise
We use only premium-tier components from established manufacturers backed by financial security to honour their long-term warranties. Our standard panel offerings include products from JA Solar, REC, Q.Cells, Longi, and SunPower — all proven brands with excellent track records. Our inverters come from Fronius, SolarEdge, GivEnergy, Solis, and SMA. Battery systems include Tesla, GivEnergy, Sonnen, BYD, and Pylontech. We never compromise on component quality to win price-sensitive deals.
Expertise You Can Trust
Solar PV is a sophisticated technology that combines elements of electrical engineering, structural engineering, building physics, and finance. Our team includes time-served electricians, qualified engineers, planning specialists, and customer service professionals — all working together to deliver solar projects that succeed across every dimension. We invest continuously in training, ensuring our team stays current with evolving technology, regulations, and best practices.
Long-Term Commitment
Solar installations are long-term assets, and we view our customer relationships the same way. Long after your installation is commissioned, we're still here to support you — answering questions, providing maintenance, handling warranty claims, and helping you optimise your system as your circumstances change. Our customer database includes installations stretching back many years, and we still hear from customers who installed with us years ago. That continuity is something we treasure.

Our Service Area
Nova Volt Solar serves customers across Greater Manchester and the surrounding region, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Tameside, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Wigan, and parts of Cheshire, Lancashire, and Derbyshire. Our local focus means we know the area intimately — local property characteristics, planning considerations, distribution network operators, and market conditions. This local expertise translates directly into better-designed and better-installed systems for our customers.
Working with Us
Every customer relationship begins with a no-obligation consultation, either at our offices or at your property. We'll listen carefully to your requirements, explain the options clearly, and provide honest advice on what will work best for your situation. There's never pressure to proceed — we'd rather you take time to make the right decision than commit hastily and regret it later.
If you decide to proceed, we'll handle every aspect of your installation including design, planning approvals (where needed), grid connection notifications, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, and certification. We'll also register your system with the Smart Export Guarantee and provide all the documentation you need for warranty, insurance, and property records. Following commissioning, we provide comprehensive training on operating your system and remain available for any future questions or support.
Looking to the Future
The solar industry continues to evolve rapidly, with new panel technologies, more sophisticated battery systems, and increasingly intelligent energy management software emerging every year. We stay at the forefront of these developments, evaluating new technologies carefully before adopting them and continuously refining our approach based on what we learn. Our customers benefit from this commitment to continuous improvement — installations completed today represent the very best of current practice, designed to keep performing well for decades to come.
