Solar panel installation in Gillingham
Gillingham and Rainham's Victorian terraces and post-war semis make up some of Medway's best solar streets — we've designed a real 17-panel, 8 kW system with 23 kWh of storage here. Across ME7–ME8 we run survey, MCS install, DNO application and certification as one team.
We work right across Gillingham — from The Great Lines Heritage Park, Gillingham Park and the Strand to the surrounding Kent neighbourhoods.
Postcodes covered: ME7–ME8 · Kent
Local knowledge
What we see on Gillingham roofs.
Roofs & housing in Gillingham
Gillingham's housing grew around the naval dockyard, so long runs of Victorian and Edwardian terraces dominate the older streets - typically slate, at steeper pitches, and often in unbroken terraces where scaffolding access is planned street by street. The inter-war and post-war semis further out carry concrete tile on more conventional pitches. Medway's south-facing slopes give some of the best aspect in our patch.
Planning & permissions
Most Gillingham installs proceed under permitted development. Medway Council maintains conservation areas around the historic dockyard and parts of the older town, so a street-facing array there needs confirming first. Terraced access is the practical constraint more often than planning.

Real pricing, custom design
Every Gillingham design is built around your actual roof and usage — not a package price off a website. We design from aerial imagery before anyone visits, then confirm on site, across ME7–ME8 and neighbouring Rainham, Chatham, Hempstead. Your free design is usually back within 24 hours with the full price in writing.
Package prices are based on one roof elevation with a single scaffold lift. Extra roof faces or additional scaffolding are quoted at survey.
