MCS-certified | Which? Trusted Trader | In-house renewable engineers
Solar panels convert daylight into usable electricity for your home, helping you generate your own power throughout the year. Even with Yorkshire’s mixed weather, modern solar PV systems perform reliably in both bright and overcast conditions, making them a practical choice for homes across Wakefield. When combined with battery storage, excess electricity generated during the day can be stored and used later in the evening or overnight.
IMS designs and installs bespoke solar PV and battery storage systems across Wakefield and the surrounding areas, including Ossett, Horbury, Normanton, Pontefract, and Castleford. With more than 25 years of renewable energy experience, we take care of the entire process in-house — from initial survey and system design through to installation, testing, and aftercare. Our goal is to make switching to solar straightforward, transparent, and tailored to your home.
Our Which? Trusted Trader endorsement is a mark of trust, telling you we’re a business you can count on. Our customer service, work quality, and how we do business always meet high standards. This means we’re dedicated to giving you great service and top-quality installations.
Generating your own electricity with solar panels reduces the amount of energy you need to buy from the grid. Adding a home battery allows you to store the electricity you produce and use it when demand is higher, rather than relying on peak-rate grid power. Over time, this helps protect Wakefield households from energy price volatility and provides more control over everyday energy use.
A battery storage system helps you maximise the value of your solar panels. Instead of exporting surplus electricity during the day, you can store it and use it later when your household needs it most. This increases self-consumption and improves overall system efficiency. If your battery is full, excess energy can still be exported under the Smart Export Guarantee, ensuring your system remains productive year-round.
Solar PV and battery storage offer a practical way to reduce household carbon emissions. By producing and storing your own renewable electricity, you lower demand on fossil-fuel-based power generation and help ease pressure on the national grid. For Wakefield homeowners, switching to solar supports both personal sustainability goals and the wider regional push towards a low-carbon future.

1. Do solar panels work well in Wakefield’s weather?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine, so they work effectively in Wakefield’s varied climate. While output is highest during spring and summer, modern systems still produce useful energy on cloudy days and throughout the winter months.
2.Is battery storage a good option for Wakefield homes?
Battery storage allows you to use more of the electricity your solar panels generate. By storing surplus energy during the day and using it later, you reduce reliance on grid electricity and improve overall energy efficiency, making battery storage a strong addition for many Wakefield households.
3.Which battery systems do you install?
IMS installs leading home battery systems including Tesla Powerwall 3, GivEnergy, and Fox ESS. Each offers reliable performance, smart monitoring, and flexible capacity options. We’ll help you choose the most suitable system based on your energy usage, property type, and long-term goals.
4. Can solar panels be installed on older properties in Wakefield?
Yes. Many older homes across Wakefield and surrounding towns are suitable for solar PV. During your survey, we assess roof structure, orientation, shading, and condition to ensure the system is safe, compliant, and optimised for performance.
5. Which areas around Wakefield do you cover?
We install solar panels and battery storage systems throughout Wakefield and nearby areas, including Ossett, Horbury, Normanton, Pontefract, and Castleford. Our local engineers cover West Yorkshire, providing expert installation and reliable aftercare close to home.
