The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the heart of Wigan, and around the Wigan Pier Quarter the old canalside warehouses and Trencherfield Mill tell the story of the town’s cotton age. Haigh Hall, set in its country park, is one of the borough’s best-loved places, and Mesnes Park is a classic Victorian town park. Wigan is also a rugby league and football town, with strong loyalties to Wigan Warriors and Wigan Athletic.
Green Sky Renewables is an MCS-certified installer based in Salford, fitting solar panels, batteries and EV chargers. We put this page together to explain how the borough’s housing, grid and planning rules affect a solar system, and how we work.
We serve the whole of the borough, including Standish, Shevington, Orrell, Upholland, Ince, Aspull, Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Golborne. Leigh, Atherton, Tyldesley, Lowton and Abram are also in Wigan borough. Bolton, Preston and Warrington have pages of their own.
Streets of Victorian and early twentieth-century terraces fill Wigan, Ince, Hindley and Leigh. Roofs are often slate, pitched and narrow, so panels on the rear slope are common and scaffolding needs thought. Older consumer units are checked at survey.
Estates in Orrell, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Golborne offer simple pitched roofs, which suit a tidy array. We design for the roof you have, including east-west splits, as on our St Helens job, where panels on two slopes were paired with a hybrid inverter and battery.
Modern roofs are straightforward and many have garages, which makes a battery and a charger easy. For a charger example see our Chorley job, a home install finished in about three hours.
Wigan borough has listed buildings and conservation areas in its towns and older villages. If your home might be one, Wigan Council’s planning team will tell you what applies, and it is better to ask before a design is drawn than after. A properly planned scheme avoids rework, and we are happy to talk through what the council has said.

Most Wigan homes are out of the house during working hours, so a battery is worth considering because it holds daytime generation until the evening. Battery storage is covered on our battery page, including AC- and DC-coupled setups and a backup option. For cars, a driveway makes a home charger simple, while terraced streets without off-street parking are harder, so we check this first.
Panels left alone can collect dirt and develop faults unnoticed. Our maintenance visit covers panels, mounting and cabling, cleaning, the inverter, a look at generation and a written summary. It is available for any system, not just ours.
Wigan Council handles planning for the whole borough, including Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley, so one planning team answers questions from Standish to Golborne. That keeps the process simple when you are weighing up a protected building or a new extension that changes the roof.
On-roof, in-roof and flat-roof solar PV for homes and businesses.
Batteries for new or existing solar, AC or DC coupled, with backup where it suits.
Home and workplace EV charger installation.
Checks and maintenance for systems we fitted and those installed by others.
Because most suppliers expect an MCS certificate before they pay for exported power, it is worth choosing an installer who holds one. Green Sky is MCS certified (00079201) and has NAPIT (71877) and TrustMark (3940046) registrations. It uses its own engineers, and warranty cover is insurance-backed through IWA.
