Electricians, solar and EV charging in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough is one of the fastest-growing markets for solar and EV infrastructure in the North East, driven by rising energy costs and a strong push for urban sustainability.

Why Middlesbrough matters for electrical and renewable
Middlesbrough’s housing split is unusually polarised: the central town has one of the highest densities of Victorian terraced housing in the North East (similar in character to Newcastle but at higher density), while the southern suburbs (Marton, Nunthorpe, Coulby Newham) have some of the largest detached properties we install on. The two halves of Middlesbrough are very different markets — central installs tend to be 3-4kW front-roof arrays, southern suburb installs tend to be 6-10kW with battery and EV charger as standard.

Energy context
Middlesbrough Council has a 2034 net-zero target — among the most ambitious of any UK council outside London. The borough sits squarely within the Teesside hydrogen and CCUS cluster.

Paying next to nothing for electricity now
“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”
DDavid R.
Sunderland
Smooth install, paperwork done properly
“North 85 surveyed the roof carefully (some installers had quoted me without measuring) and the layout they came back with put 12 panels where I expected 10. Net export to Octopus Outgoing is paying back faster than I had budgeted for.”
AAndrew F.
Newcastle upon Tyne
Great communication start to finish
“From the quote through to the final commissioning, the North 85 team kept me in the loop. Scaffold up Monday, install Tuesday-Wednesday, commissioned Thursday. Even helped me register for the SEG tariff. Highly recommend.”
