Underwood Electrical Ltd: MCS-certified renewable energy installations in Staffordshire

Underwood Electrical Ltd is an electrical contractor based in Newcastle-under-Lyme that has been trading since 2005. The company presents itself as a specialist in renewable energy for homes and businesses, with MCS certification for solar PV and battery storage work. Its stated coverage area is Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire, and it also carries out general electrical installation work in Newcastle, Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding area.

The firm is registered in England (company number 06529241) and is a member of NICEIC (registration 036007). It also holds a VAT registration (384048680). These credentials appear in the footer of its website alongside its contact details.

Solar PV, battery storage and integrated EV charging

The core offer combines solar photovoltaic generation with battery storage. Underwood Electrical designs and installs solar PV systems, both integrated into the roof and mounted on top of it, and supplies battery storage as a standalone addition or as part of a combined solar package. The company also installs EV chargers, including solar-integrated models for home and workplace use.

Its published pricing illustrates two typical packages. A combined solar and battery installation includes ten all-black panels, a 3.68 kW hybrid inverter, a 5.2 kWh battery, a concrete tile mounting kit, single-aspect scaffolding and MCS certification, priced from £5,995. A separate battery storage installation with an AC-coupled inverter and a 5.2 kWh battery, compatible with off-peak tariffs and supplied with an MCS certificate, is priced from £2,795. Both figures are marked as subject to a site survey, and the company states that 0% VAT applies to domestic solar and battery installations from 1 February 2024.

Heat pumps and additional system components

Beyond solar and storage, the company lists air source heat pumps among its services. It also fits bird proofing for solar arrays and solar diverters, which direct surplus generation to other uses in the home. Finance is available for solar installations, according to the website.

Tesla Powerwall and Sigenergy

Underwood Electrical describes itself as an approved Tesla Powerwall installer and maintains a dedicated page for that product. It also works with Sigenergy battery systems, which appear as a separate brand in its service navigation.

How the company works

Prospective customers are invited to request a free design and quotation. The online form asks for the technology of interest (solar PV, battery storage, air source heat pump or EV charger), the property type (detached, semi-detached, terraced, bungalow or commercial), the intended timeframe, and whether the property already has solar panels, an electric vehicle or a heat pump. It also allows uploads of a roof photo, consumer unit or fuse board image, electricity bill and additional photos.

The site publishes case studies and news items, including a Staffordshire solar and battery installation that generated 9.58 MWh in its first full year, an article on EV charger grants for 2026 and a piece on green mortgage incentives for funding solar panels, battery storage and heat pumps.
