Chelmsford mixes old and new. Moulsham and the streets near the station and town centre have Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with roofs that suit a compact array. Springfield and Chelmer Village are later estates with simple pitched roofs. To the north east, Beaulieu and Channels are newer developments. Many homes there have a driveway that suits an EV charger. Chelmsford City Council handles planning, and the city centre has conservation areas.
Chelmsford is a far area for us. The first survey is usually a video call, then a site visit, and installs are scheduled in groups. The design, installation and warranties are the same everywhere we cover. UK Power Networks is the network operator, and we handle the connection paperwork with them. Inland Essex gets about 900 kWh per kWp a year. A battery lets households who are out in the day use more of that in the evening. An EcoFlow PowerPulse 2 charger can top up an EV from the same system.
