Solar Panel Installation Stevenage: Expert Guide

Why Stevenage Works Well for Solar

Britain's first New Town has unique characteristics that make it excellent for solar:

• Strong post-war roof structures
• Many flat roof opportunities
• Consistent housing stock
• Good grid capacity

Flat Roof Specialization

Many Stevenage properties have flat roof garages and extensions. We specialize in:

Ballasted Systems

• No roof penetrations
• Protects waterproof membrane
• Weighted frames hold panels in place
• Ideal for garages and extensions

Low-Profile Mounting

• Panels sit just 200mm above roof
• Complies with permitted development
• Minimal visual impact
• No planning required

East-West Systems

Many Stevenage streets run east-west. We design dual-aspect systems:

Orientation

Generation

Best For

South	100%	Maximum annual output
East-West	85-90%	Better spread through day
East only	75%	Morning generation
West only	75%	Afternoon generation

East-West advantage: More even generation throughout the day, better for battery charging.
