Northern Enterprise Awards 2025

Northern Enterprise Awards 2025/ 12 Best Solar Panel Installation Company 2025 - Yorkshire P4 Solar is a family-owned business based in Yorkshire, originally set up by father-and-son-team, Peter and Fred Maddocks. The company provides cuttingedge solar panel installations, solar batteries, and EV chargers to residential, commercial, new build, and community projects in Yorkshire and surrounding areas – the mission being to help them take full control of their energy bills, save money in the long-term, and utilise a greener energy source. Company owner, Peter Maddocks tells us more. At P4 Solar, the process begins with a no-obligation, free onsite survey, followed by a detailed proposal which outlines energy savings, recommended equipment, and a full breakdown of the project cost. “We never pressurise anyone to proceed; always providing potential clients space and time to think through our proposal in detail,” says Peter. “We understand that moving forward with a solar panel installation is a big financial decision.” Once the client decides to go ahead with the project, the company is sure to communicate with them regularly and clearly, using its CRM system to log all communication touch points including phone calls, emails, and SMS. This tool enhances P4 Solar’s ability to deliver exceptional customer service, which comes alongside high-quality solar panel installations, using the most advanced products on the market. Making it all happen is a dedicated team who are each aligned on the same customer values, always being highly respectful and polite. Customers often comment on the top-notch service levels they’ve received from P4 Solar, with the company having more than 400 fivestar reviews online. One person shares, “They gave time and thought to our wishes and needs. The installation was efficient and done without disturbance to us. The after-service is great. A five-star company.” P4 Solar is particularly proud to have installed an astonishing 1,000 solar panels in Ilkley, where Peter, Fred, and several of its employees reside, since its establishment just over three years ago. As a result, Ilkley people and businesses saved more than £56,000 in electricity costs in the first year, and this is predicted to increase to £4 million over 25 years and see £1.5 million in received payments from the grid over the same timeframe. P4 Solar is also an active member of the Green Economy, the sector development organisation for business providing green technologies, low carbon solutions, and environmental services. This allows it to take part in monthly networking events and presentations to showcase its work to other members and further enhance business relationships and sustainability opportunities. Furthermore, P4 Solar contributes largely to its local community, supporting local projects such as Ilkley Rugby Club, The Queens Hall in Burley in Wharfedale, Curly Hill campsite, and Ben Rhydding Scout and Guide group. These community hubs are already benefiting from reduced energy costs and are set to save and earn back from the grid a combined £1.2 million over the next 25 years. In addition, P4 Solar has previously sponsored and supported Ilkley Town Football Club for two years and has recently committed to sponsoring Ilkley Cricket Club, alongside installing solar panels at the club as part of this commitment. “We are delighted to have helped futureproof our local clubs and important community facilities for the long-term which will give local families the ability to access and enjoy these important facilities for many years to come,” Peter comments. It doesn’t end there, for P4 Solar is also proud to run an initiative where it plants 100 trees with every installation it undertakes, so far having planted an incredible 43,635 trees. This scheme is carried out in partnership with Ecologi, with its trees distributed to countries including Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda, and many more. As such, tree species are carefully chosen based on the local ecosystem to promote reforestation and support local communities. “We take pride in contributing to this initiative every day and pass on the planted trees to our lovely customers,” says Peter. An organisation very much focused on building a better future, P4 Solar of course has its sight set on what’s next – and it’s looking extremely positive. It is a business focused on growing in an everevolving, although saturated, market. “Our USPs set us apart from our competitors,” explains Peter. “Our customer-focused approach and high-quality solar installations are encouraging a high number of customer referrals, which is increasing year on year. We are looking to expand across all of our key markets with more focus on commercial and new build opportunities within the next two years.” To learn more about P4 Solar and its outstanding service offering, please visit the company website.
