Manchester Renewables: MCS-certified solar and battery installation across Greater Manchester

Manchester Renewables Ltd is a renewable energy company based in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, that designs and installs solar PV systems, battery storage and related electrical work for homeowners and commercial clients. The company states it is MCS certified, NIC/EIC approved and TrustMark approved, and that it has completed more than 2,000 installations across the North West, including over 2,000 new-build homes, more than 100 private domestic jobs and over 60 commercial projects.

The business was founded by Jordan McClusky, who began as an apprentice electrician before setting up as an independent electrical contractor in 2018 and joining NIC/EIC. After working alongside solar installers on a new-build project in 2019, he launched Manchester Renewables in 2021. The company describes itself as a family business: Jordan's partner Laura has been involved for over ten years managing administration and office operations, and his father joined in late 2025 to help with surveys, on-site support and deliveries. The on-site crew consists of six skilled tradespeople, including qualified electricians and two electrical apprentices, all holding Gold ECS or CSCS cards.

Solar PV systems and system design

Manchester Renewables installs high-efficiency Tier 1 solar panels, with panel wattage of 420W+ and module efficiency of 22.5%, according to the company. The service covers a free initial survey to assess the roof and energy needs, followed by a custom 3D simulation of system performance before installation by the MCS-certified team. The company says its systems are designed specifically for the North West climate and can cut electricity bills by up to 70%.

The range of solar services includes solar panel installation for homes, commercial solar panels, flat roof solar panels, ground mount solar panels, in-roof solar panels, solar panels for new builds, removal and reinstallation, and solar system servicing. A solar savings calculator is available on the website, allowing users to enter a postcode and view an indicative guide range for system size, yearly generation and installed cost before providing any personal details.

Battery storage and smart energy management

The company offers home battery storage, solar battery storage, battery installation, standalone battery systems and battery retrofit.

The battery systems use lithium iron phosphate chemistry and are presented as providing power during blackouts and smart energy discharging. Other products include solar immersion diverters and hybrid inverters.

System monitoring and control are handled through a smartphone app, which the company says allows users to see real-time generation and manage energy use. Maintenance services cover solar panel servicing, solar panel health checks, solar inverter repair, performance monitoring, solar PV fault finding, and operations and maintenance. Solar panel pigeon mesh is also offered.
