Solar panel installation in Hitchin
Hitchin's period market-town core is ringed by inter-war semis and modern family estates across SG4–SG5 — we've designed real systems here, including a 14-panel, 6.58 kW array with battery storage. Survey, MCS install, DNO application and certification: one accountable team.
We work right across Hitchin — from the Market Place, Windmill Hill and the Priory grounds to the surrounding Hertfordshire neighbourhoods.
Postcodes covered: SG4–SG5 · Hertfordshire
Local knowledge
What we see on Hitchin roofs.
Roofs & housing in Hitchin
Hitchin mixes a genuinely old core - timber-framed and Georgian buildings around the market square, often in clay tile or slate - with substantial Victorian villas and large inter-war and post-war estates further out. The suburban stock takes a standard on-roof system cleanly; the historic centre needs a survey first. It is one of the towns where the design really does change street by street.
Planning & permissions
Permitted development covers the large majority of Hitchin installs, but the town centre conservation area is extensive and North Hertfordshire treats street-facing elevations there carefully. Listed buildings are more common here than in the surrounding towns. We check which side of that line your property sits on before any design work starts.

Real pricing, custom design
Every Hitchin 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 SG4–SG5 and neighbouring Letchworth, Baldock, Ickleford. 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.
