Solar panel installation in St Albans
St Albans blends Victorian and Edwardian streets with substantial inter-war and modern family homes across AL1–AL4. Energy bills here are among the county's highest — which makes well-designed solar especially worthwhile. We handle design, MCS install, DNO and all certification.
We work right across St Albans — from the Cathedral quarter, Verulamium Park and Fleetville to the surrounding Hertfordshire neighbourhoods.
Postcodes covered: AL1–AL4 · Hertfordshire
Local knowledge
What we see on St Albans roofs.
Roofs & housing in St Albans
St Albans has an unusually old housing stock for our patch - Georgian and Victorian property through the city centre and Fishpool Street, often in clay tile or slate, alongside substantial inter-war and post-war housing in Marshalswick, Bernards Heath and the surrounding villages. The suburban stock designs quickly; the historic core rarely does, and we would rather say that up front than discover it on the day.
Planning & permissions
This is the town in our patch where planning matters most. St Albans has one of the largest conservation areas in Hertfordshire covering much of the city centre, and listed buildings are common. Permitted development still covers the suburban majority, but we always confirm the status of your exact address before any design work - a street-facing array in the centre is not a safe assumption.

Real pricing, custom design
Every St Albans design is built around your actual roof and usage. We design from aerial imagery before anyone visits, then confirm on site, across AL1–AL4 and neighbouring Harpenden, London Colney, Wheathampstead. Your free roof design and fixed price are usually back within 24 hours, 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.
