Solar in Leicester
Leicester's housing spans grand Georgian townhouses along New Walk — one of the country's earliest planned pedestrian streets — through dense Victorian terraces around Highfields and Belgrave, to 1930s semis and postwar estates out towards Oadby and Wigston. That range means pitch, orientation and shading vary considerably across the city, and a proper survey earns its keep here.
The New Walk conservation area, along with parts of Victoria Park and the Georgian streets nearby, carries particular planning sensitivity. We check this at survey stage and design around rear or side roof planes wherever a front-facing install would need additional consent.
Leicester's terraced streets, particularly around Belgrave and Spinney Hills, often have roofs backing directly onto neighbouring properties — a common source of shading a doorstep quote would miss entirely. We check this properly before recommending a system size, and National Grid Electricity Distribution — the network operator across Leicestershire — is who we deal with directly on the DNO notification and commissioning.

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.
FAQ
Solar in Leicester — common questions.
Which areas around Leicester do you cover?
The full LE postcode area, including Oadby, Wigston, Birstall, Syston, Glenfield, Anstey, Enderby and Blaby.
I'm in a Leicester terrace with neighbouring roofs close by — will that cause shading?
It can, which is exactly why we survey before quoting. Overshadowing from neighbouring rooflines is common on Leicester's terraced streets, and we design the layout around it rather than assuming a standard setup.
Can I get solar near New Walk?
Often yes on rear or side roof planes, though the conservation area needs particular care. We check this at survey and tell you plainly what's realistic before you commit to anything.
Do you actually cover Leicester, or subcontract it out?
We cover it directly. Our own engineers design and install every system across Leicester and Leicestershire — nothing is subcontracted to a third-party fitting crew.
Do you handle the grid connection paperwork?
Yes. We manage the DNO notification with National Grid Electricity Distribution and the commissioning as part of the install — you don't need to chase any forms.
