Designed around you
Your electricity use and your roof set the size, not a package.
Residential solar / St Albans
Residential solar in St Albans.
St Albans has Victorian terraces near the cathedral and Clarence Park, 1930s semis further out, and larger detached houses around the edges. REX surveys, designs and installs residential solar and battery storage across St Albans, with a survey and a written proposal before you commit.
Your St Albans 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.
Older roofs checked properly
We assess condition, covering and structure before recommending panels.
Storage only if it makes sense
A battery is proposed when your usage supports it.
Room to change the house
Building plans are built into the layout.
Access arranged beforehand
Scaffold, inverter position and cable routes are agreed in advance.
Figures you can follow
Assumptions are shown, not hidden.
Local considerations
A closer look at St Albans.
A city with older roofs
Victorian and Edwardian houses are common, and roofs vary in age and condition. If repairs are due, it usually makes sense to do them before panels go on. We check this during the survey.
Suburban St Albans
Further out, 1930s and later houses have simpler roofs, and detached homes give more choice of layout. The question there is usually how much you will use and when.
Why REX
From the survey to a clear proposal.
Send the address, a recent electricity bill or usage summary and a few roof photos. We will talk through the survey and layout. The proposal then sets out the equipment, expected generation, access and the work included.
Before you decide
Solar questions in St Albans.
Can I fit solar to a listed building?
Listed building consent is normally needed and is not guaranteed. Start with the council.
Do panels suit a tiled roof?
Yes. Tiled roofs are common. We check condition and fixings at survey.
East or west roof, is that bad?
No. A south roof is not the only option. East and west layouts can suit households that use more power in the morning or evening.
Do you cover Harpenden and Hatfield?
We survey and install across Hertfordshire. Send your postcode to confirm.
Is my street in a conservation area?
St Albans City and District Council lists 19 conservation areas, and the city has many listed buildings. A conservation area does not automatically rule out solar, but extra rules can apply. Check your address with the council. REX can discuss roof options meanwhile.

Solar in a conservation area?
A conservation area does not automatically rule out solar. REX can advise on conservation matters and discuss roof options, with consent requirements confirmed by the council or relevant estate.
