Sized to the household
Bigger homes use power differently. We start from your bills.
Residential solar / Radlett & Elstree
Residential solar in Radlett and Elstree.
Radlett and Elstree are known for large detached houses on generous plots, which means large roofs and often high electricity bills. REX surveys, designs and installs residential solar and battery storage across WD7 and WD6, with the detail settled at survey.
Your Radlett & Elstree project
Start with what the property needs.
The useful result is a system you understand: how it fits, what it is expected to generate and where a battery may help.
Each roof section mapped
Wings, gables and outbuildings are assessed one by one.
Battery weighed against use
Evening demand can be high in larger houses. We check whether storage fits.
Plans for the house
Extensions, annexes and changes at home are included in the design.
Access planned up front
Scaffold, equipment position and cable runs are agreed in advance.
Assumptions in view
You see how generation is estimated.
Local considerations
A closer look at Radlett & Elstree.
More roof, more decisions
Larger houses often have several roof sections, and sometimes a garage or outbuilding with a good roof. We check whether those are worth using and what the cable route back to the house would involve.
Village centres and green belt
Radlett and Elstree both have village centres, and plenty of open land around them. Mature trees on large plots can shade roofs, so we look at shade closely before estimating output.
Why REX
From the survey to a clear proposal.
Send the address, bills or a usage summary and photos of the roof. We will review them and survey the property. The proposal then sets out the layout, equipment, expected generation, access and the work included.
Before you decide
Solar questions in Radlett & Elstree.
Can you use a garage roof?
Sometimes. It depends on orientation, structure and the cable route. We check at survey.
Is a battery worth it on a large house?
Often a strong candidate, because evening use can be high. We compare capacity against your spare daytime generation.
Are there planning limits?
Most homes can fit solar without an application, but listed buildings and designated areas have extra rules.
Do you cover Borehamwood and Shenley?
We survey and install across Hertfordshire. Send your postcode to confirm.
Is my street in a conservation area?
Hertsmere Borough Council has conservation areas including Radlett (North), Radlett South and Elstree Village. A conservation area does not automatically rule out solar, but check your address with the council first. REX can advise on roof options.
