Solar panel installers in Wivenhoe

We install residential and commercial solar across Wivenhoe and the wider Colchester area. Whether you need a new rooftop array, battery storage, an inverter upgrade, or a survey before you apply for grants, our team delivers MCS-compliant workmanship from Braintree, Essex, with the same engineers handling survey, installation and aftercare.

Roofs and housing in Colchester

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. We size the system to your actual roof and consumption at survey — never from a postcode.

Planning permission in Wivenhoe

Wivenhoe 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 Colchester City Council before quoting.

Coastal installations

Wivenhoe 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 Wivenhoe.
