Pictured: our install in Welwyn Garden City, mid-install
“Called Depth of Light because I was having trouble with my electricity tripping when solar panels kicked in each morning. Matt came round within a few days and spoke with Solis. Between them the fault was identified and Matt came and fitted a new RCD. Fast, professional, friendly service. Would recommend.”
“Matt did an amazing job replacing our old fuse box! He was super clean, kept us informed every step of the way, and did a really professional job. We’ve used him for various other work since and we’ll definitely keep using his services again.”

What we find on St Albans roofs
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Fleetville and the streets around the station are largely terraced: long, narrow roofs, often slate, with rear outriggers. Roof width usually limits the array before your budget does, and slate needs the right fixings and proper scaffold.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
The city centre and much of the older town are conservation areas, with many listed buildings. Roof panels on an unlisted house in a conservation area are usually permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and an Article 4 direction can remove the permission. We check before we quote.
Marshalswick, Jersey Farm and the newer estates
The post-war and later estates on the north and east of the city are the straightforward ground: concrete tile, unbroken slopes and typically a one-day install. The consumer unit is often the thing that needs attention, not the roof.
The parts that change the price
Roof orientation, not postcode
What changes your output is which way the roof faces and what shades it, which is why we measure rather than estimate from an address.
Scaffolding access
Narrow terraced streets and pavement scaffolds show up in the price. We tell you at survey rather than add it later.
Grid connection
Hertfordshire is on UK Power Networks' Eastern network. Most home systems are notified after installation; larger inverters and batteries need G99 approval first — the Welwyn Garden City job took about two weeks. We make the application and handle the paperwork, and we check the operator for your postcode.
Working in St Albans from Milton Keynes
We are based in Bletchley, about 45 minutes from St Albans down the M1. That matters less for the install than for what comes after: if something needs looking at, we come out ourselves rather than subcontract it.
Our nearest finished job in Hertfordshire is in Welwyn Garden City: 8.64kWp of solar, an 11.52kWh Fox ESS battery and a Zappi EV charger on a single south-east roof, with G99 grid approval through in about two weeks. Fitted in September 2026.
We have not finished a job in St Albans itself yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Solar Panels in St Albans — FAQ
From £5,600 for a 3.72kWp system and £5,900 for a 5.58kWp system on a straightforward roof, at 0% VAT until 31 March 2027. Slate terraces and conservation-area roofs can cost more because of scaffolding and fixings, which we price at survey rather than adding later.
Usually not for roof panels on an unlisted house, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings need consent, and an Article 4 direction can take away permitted development. We check your address before we quote.
Yes. It is about 45 minutes from our Bletchley base, and our nearest Hertfordshire job is in Welwyn Garden City. We have not finished one in St Albans itself yet.
How it works
1. We call you back
Usually the same working day, to talk through what you want and book a survey.
2. Roof survey
About 40 minutes at your home. We measure the roof, check the consumer unit and look at where a battery could go.
3. A fixed price in writing
With an MCS performance estimate of what the system should generate. Nothing is added later.
4. Grid notification
We notify your network operator, or apply for G99 approval first on larger systems, which can take a few weeks.
5. Installation
Most homes take one or two days, with scaffold up for the roof work.
6. Handover
We set up the app with you and leave the MCS certificate you need to be paid for exporting.
