Solar panels in Stevenage — the short answer

Find your starting point
What kind of Stevenage home do you have?
Stevenage was Britain's first new town, so most homes follow a handful of designs. Pick yours to see where most people start.
Mid-terrace
One clear slope — the classic Stevenage fit
Most new-town terraces have one usable roof slope. We confirm from aerial imagery how many panels fit and plan the scaffold from the front.
We check: shading from the houses either side and front scaffold access.

End-terrace
Side access makes it simpler
An end-terrace usually gives easier scaffold access and sometimes a second roof face, priced separately at the survey.
We check: the roof face that gets the most sun and the side access.

Semi-detached
Where most Stevenage homes start
A semi usually takes 10 panels on one slope with room for a battery inside. This is our most chosen package.
We check: roof direction, the fuse board and the best spot for the battery.

Detached
Bigger roof, bigger battery
Newer estates like Great Ashby and Poplars have large, unshaded roofs — room for more panels and a larger battery.
We check: how much roof you can use and how much power you use in the evening.

Flat roof
Panels on low tilt frames
Garage blocks and flat-roof extensions are common across the neighbourhoods. Panels go on tilt frames so they face the sun.
We check: that the roof is sound before anything is fitted.

Already have solar
Store what your panels already make
Keep your panels and add a battery. If your inverter is old or has failed, a new hybrid inverter and battery replace it in one visit.
We check: your existing inverter and system first.

Local knowledge
Stevenage, house by house
The things that actually change a Stevenage install — checked before you pay anything.
New-town terraces
One clear slope per house — exactly what our package prices are built on. We check shading from neighbouring roofs and plan the scaffold from the front.
Garage blocks and flat extensions
Panels go on low tilt frames once we have checked the roof is sound. Flat-roof solar guide →
Great Ashby and Poplars
Newer estates with larger, unshaded roofs — room for more panels and a bigger battery.
The Old Town
The High Street area is a conservation area. Street-facing panels may need permission, so we check your exact address first. Planning rules →
Council and ex-council homes
Renting from the council? Ask the council first — it has added solar to some of its own homes during retrofit work. Own your ex-council house? It's your decision. Leasehold flats need the freeholder's agreement.
The grid connection
UK Power Networks runs Stevenage's local network. We send the grid notification for your system — you never deal with it.

Stevenage questions, answered
How much do solar panels cost in Stevenage?
A typical Stevenage terrace or semi starts at £4,990 for 10 panels on one roof slope. With a 5.76 kWh battery it is £6,890; with the larger 11.52 kWh battery, £7,990; a whole-home system from £13,400. All fitted at 0% VAT, with a single scaffold lift — a second roof face is priced at the survey.
Is Solar Together still running in Hertfordshire?
Solar Together is the council-backed group-buying scheme and it runs in rounds — the last Hertfordshire registration deadline was 25 April 2025. You do not have to wait for a round: we send a fixed price for your home in writing, usually within 24 hours.
Will solar panels fit on my terraced house?
Usually, yes. Most new-town terraces have one clear roof slope per house, which is what our package prices are based on. We confirm the number of panels from aerial imagery before you commit.
Do I need planning permission in Stevenage?
Most homes do not — solar panels are permitted development. Stevenage Borough Council is the planning authority; the Old Town conservation area and listed buildings are the exceptions, and we check your exact address during the free design.
I rent from the council — can I get solar panels?
Ask Stevenage Borough Council first: it has added solar panels to some of its own homes as part of retrofit work. If you own your former council home, it is your decision. Leasehold flats need the freeholder's written agreement.
Can you put panels on a flat-roof garage or extension?
Yes, if the roof is sound. Panels go on low tilt frames so they face the sun, and we check the roof at the survey before anything is fitted.
How long does installation take?
One day on site for most Stevenage homes: scaffold up in the morning, system running by the evening. We handle the grid notification and MCS certificate afterwards.
Can I add a battery to the panels I already have?
Yes. A battery added to an existing hybrid inverter is from £1,990; a battery with a new hybrid inverter, replacing an old or failed one, is from £3,290.
Do you fit EV chargers in Stevenage?
Yes — a 7 kW home charger is from £1,150 fitted, on its own or alongside solar and a battery.
Who checks the work, and what if something goes wrong?
Every system is registered under our MCS certificate (NAP/79987/26/1). NAPIT assesses our electrical work, we follow the RECC consumer code and TrustMark, and an IWA insurance-backed guarantee covers the job.
