St Albans has a large conservation area around the cathedral and the old city centre, with many listed buildings. Roof solar is often still possible there on slopes that do not face the street, but listed buildings need consent. Fleetville, Bernards Heath and the streets near Clarence Park are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis. Marshalswick and the estates towards Jersey Farm are later, with simpler roofs. We check each address with St Albans City and District Council first.
The district sits in the Metropolitan Green Belt, which matters for ground-mounted panels and outbuildings more than for roof systems. St Albans is a far area for us, so the first survey is usually a video call, then a site visit. Installs are scheduled in groups, and the design, installation and warranties are the same as anywhere else. UK Power Networks runs the local network and we handle the connection paperwork with them. Some households, especially in the outlying villages, also want a battery with backup for power cuts.
