Solar installers in Colchester
Colchester is a short run along the A120 from Braintree. The city has everything from Roman-walled conservation streets to the large new neighbourhoods at Stanway, Myland and the garrison, and we install across all of it — the newer estates in particular are well suited to 4–6kW systems with storage.
Working across Colchester
Towards the coast, Wivenhoe, West Mersea and the Colne estuary bring older fishing-village housing, conservation areas and salt exposure, which affects the fixings and cable glands we specify.
Typical roofs and housing
Georgian and Victorian terraces in the centre, inter-war suburbs, and extensive 2000s–2020s new-build at Stanway and Myland; coastal cottages and bungalows at Wivenhoe and Mersea.

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.
