Solar installation in Brentwood
We install residential and commercial solar across Brentwood and the wider Brentwood area.

Roofs and housing in Brentwood
Predominantly inter-war and post-war detached and semi-detached homes with clay or concrete tiles; period properties in Ingatestone. We size the system to your actual roof and consumption at survey — never from a postcode.
Planning permission in Brentwood
Brentwood includes a designated conservation area. Roof-mounted panels are still usually permitted development there, but the rules are tighter — panels on a wall or roof slope facing a highway may need permission, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We confirm your property's status with Brentwood Borough Council before quoting.
Grid connection
UK Power Networks is the distribution network operator for the whole of Essex. We handle the G98 notification (systems up to 3.68kW per phase) or G99 application (larger systems and most batteries) on your behalf.
BlankSolar is fully insured and MCS-certified. We also install across the wider United Kingdom — contact us if your property is outside Brentwood.

Before you book
Surveys
What happens on a solar survey
A survey is how we measure your roof, electrics, and energy use before anyone commits to panels. Here is what to expect, and what you will receive afterwards.
Installation
What to expect on install day
A typical home installation is planned around scaffolding, roof work, and electrical commissioning. Here is how the day usually runs.
System size
Choosing a solar system size
BlankSolar installs packages from 2kW to 6kW, and larger systems where the roof and supply allow it. Size should follow the property, not a default package.
