Local knowledge
What we see on Hitchin roofs.
Roofs & housing in Hitchin
The semis off Bedford Road and the Poets estate carry straightforward tiled slopes for 10–14 panels; north-east facing roofs here still perform — one of our recent Hitchin designs proved exactly that.
Planning & permissions
Hitchin's town-centre conservation area covers the historic core; outside it, permitted development applies to nearly every install. We check your street as part of the free design.
Real pricing, custom design
Recent ECONEXIS installs start from £4,990 for solar only, or £6,690 with battery storage — up to around £14,000 for our largest systems. Every Hitchin design is built around your actual roof and usage, and your free custom design is usually back within 24 hours.
