Solar in Cambridge
Cambridge and the wider East of England enjoy some of the highest daylight totals in the country — this corner of the UK is genuinely well suited to solar. From the Victorian terraces of Romsey and Mill Road to the interwar homes in Cherry Hinton and the newer developments at Trumpington, Eddington and out towards Cambourne, there's a lot of roof here that generates well.
Cambridge has a strong conservation-conscious streak, with numerous conservation areas across the historic core and the college neighbourhoods, plus a scattering of listed homes. That doesn't rule solar out — it just means the design has to respect it. We prioritise roof planes that keep you within permitted development and flag anything that would need planning consent before you commit.
The flatter, more open plots common across Cambridgeshire — particularly out towards Ely and the villages — often mean less shading and cleaner south-facing roofs, which is close to ideal for solar. Add a battery to store the strong summer surplus and the Smart Export Guarantee to get paid for exports, and a well-designed system here works hard. Your network operator is UK Power Networks, and we handle the connection paperwork for you.

The Geko difference
Not your typical solar company
Most of the solar industry runs on doorstep reps and subcontractors. We built Geko to be the opposite.
