Solar panel installation in Grays
Grays and Thurrock — including Chafford Hundred's modern estates — combine Victorian terraces with big 1990s–2000s developments whose roofs were practically made for solar. Across RM16–RM20 we run the whole job: design, MCS install, DNO application and certification.
We work right across Grays — from Chafford Hundred, Grays Beach Riverside Park and Lakeside to the surrounding Essex neighbourhoods.
Postcodes covered: RM16–RM20 · Essex
Local knowledge
What we see on Grays roofs.
Roofs & housing in Grays
Grays mixes Victorian terraces near the town centre and the river with inter-war and post-war semis further out, plus newer riverside development on former industrial land. The terraces are more often slate, which needs the right fixings rather than a different approach; the semis carry concrete interlocking tile at friendly working pitches. Thurrock's flat ground means neighbouring rooflines, not terrain, are the usual shading factor.
Planning & permissions
Permitted development covers the large majority of Grays installs. Thurrock Council maintains conservation areas around the older parts of town and the riverside, so a front-facing array in those streets is worth checking first - we confirm the status of your exact address during the free design.

Real pricing, custom design
Every Grays 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 RM16–RM20 and neighbouring Chafford Hundred, South Ockendon, Stanford-le-Hope. 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.
