West Yorkshire is five council areas: Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Kirklees (Huddersfield, Dewsbury and the Holme Valley) and Calderdale (Halifax and the upper Calder valley). Solar Stash covers all five from an office on King Street in Leeds. Every LS, WF, BD, HD and HX postcode is inside the area, and the towns on the edges, Harrogate, York, Skipton, Barnsley and Selby, are by arrangement rather than a flat no.
The housing is what makes each survey different. Leeds has more back-to-back terraces than anywhere else in the country, with one usable roof pitch per house. Bradford, Huddersfield and Halifax have stone terraces and villas under heavy stone slate. Wakefield and the eastern towns have the biggest share of post-war semis and new-build estates with simple, wide roofs. A 1930s semi in Roundhay, a stone end-terrace in Marsden and a 2015 detached house in Normanton can all carry solar, but they will not carry the same number of panels, and the battery that suits a family out all day is not the one that suits a retired couple at home.
How it works from Leeds: you send the form or call, we ring back within one working day to check your roof and your bills, and we book a free home survey with a local MCS-certified installer. The installer measures up, checks your consumer unit and the Northern Powergrid connection (the network operator for the whole county), then sends a fixed written quote. No obligation at any point.
