Roofs and housing in Southend-on-Sea
Edwardian and inter-war terraces and semis, often with slate or clay tiles and rear extensions; bungalows and larger detached homes in Leigh-on-Sea and Thorpe Bay. We size the system to your actual roof and consumption at survey — never from a postcode.
Planning permission in Shoeburyness
For most houses in Shoeburyness, roof-mounted solar is permitted development and no planning application is needed. Flats, listed buildings and unusual installations are the exceptions. We check your property's status with Southend-on-Sea City Council as part of the survey.
Coastal installations
Shoeburyness is a coastal or estuary location, so we use stainless or coated fixings, sealed cable glands and, wherever possible, indoor positions for inverters and batteries to protect against salt exposure.
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 Shoeburyness.

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.
