Solar Panel Installation in Probus

Probus's open agricultural setting on the A390, just 5 miles from Truro, gives it excellent solar exposure across the rolling mid-Cornwall landscape. The famous church tower — the tallest in Cornwall — is evidence that Probus sits on elevated ground with commanding views and unobstructed skies. Most Probus properties benefit from good south-facing roof aspects and no overshadowing. The village is off the mains gas grid, making solar combined with heat pump an outstanding energy upgrade. Cornwall's 1,298 kWh/m² annual solar irradiance produces approximately 3,500–3,800 kWh per year from a 4kW system. CCS Heating & Renewables installs solar panels with 0% VAT across the TR2 area. Probus Gardens nearby demonstrates how well plants and wildlife respond to this sunny corner of mid-Cornwall.

Why Probus homeowners choose solar panel installation

Probus sits 10 miles from our base, serves around 1,700 residents, and receives 1295 kWh/m²/year of solar irradiance — roughly 19% above the UK average.

Property types we install in

• South-facing pitched roofs: optimal — 15–16 panels yield ~5,800 kWh/year in this part of Cornwall.
• East/west split roofs: still strong — smoother daily generation, better for self-consumption.
• Coastal and conservation-area properties: we handle planning where needed at no extra cost.
