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:
