Solar in Newcastle
Newcastle's Grainger Town — the Georgian and early Victorian city centre around Grey Street — is one of the best-preserved planned townscapes in England, and much of it carries conservation area or listed status. Away from the centre, the city's most distinctive housing type is the Tyneside flat: a purpose-built upstairs-downstairs terrace design unique to Tyneside, common right across Heaton, Byker and Elswick.
Tyneside flats split a single terraced building into two separate homes stacked on top of each other, each with its own front door — which means roof ownership and access can be more complicated than a standard terrace. We check this properly at survey rather than assuming a straightforward install.
Further out towards Gosforth, Jesmond and Kenton, larger semis and detached houses are common, generally with simpler roof access and more design flexibility than the Tyneside flat streets nearer the centre.
Your electricity network here runs through Northern Powergrid, and we handle the DNO notification and commissioning paperwork as part of the install.

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 Newcastle — common questions.
Which areas around Newcastle do you cover?
The full NE postcode area, including Gosforth, Jesmond, Heaton, Gateshead, North Shields, Wallsend, Kenton and Fenham.
I live in a Tyneside flat — can I get solar?
Often yes, but roof ownership needs checking first since a Tyneside flat splits one building into two homes. We confirm this at survey before anything else — it's not something we assume either way.
Can I get solar in Grainger Town or another Newcastle conservation area?
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.
Do you actually cover Newcastle, or subcontract it out?
We cover it directly. Our own engineers design and install every system across Newcastle and Tyneside — nothing is subcontracted to a third-party fitting crew.
How long does a typical install take?
Most domestic solar-and-battery installs are completed in a single day once scaffolding is up. We handle the DNO notification with Northern Powergrid and the commissioning as part of the job.
