What makes solar different in Colchester
Colchester has a wide mix of historic homes, modern estates and rural properties around the outskirts. Shading patterns vary across Lexden, Highwoods, Mile End and Stanway. We design each system around these local conditions for the best performance.
- Historic homes often require panel level optimisation due to chimneys, rooflines and irregular shading.
- Modern estates around Highwoods and Stanway are ideal for battery ready systems thanks to consistent roof layouts.
- Rural properties often have larger usable roof areas suitable for big arrays and flexible inverter options.
- Homes near woodland benefit from micro inverters to maximise winter yield.
