Solar in Newport

Newport grew up on steel and docks, best known landmark-wise for its Victorian transporter bridge — one of only a handful still working anywhere in the world. That industrial history left rows of terraced housing built for dockworkers and steelworkers across Pill, Maindee and the town centre, alongside newer estates through Bassaleg, Rogerstone and Malpas as the town expanded.

The older terraced streets nearer the docks and river often have roofs backing directly onto neighbouring properties, a common source of shading a doorstep quote would miss — we check this properly at survey rather than quoting blind.

Out towards Caerleon — with its genuine Roman fortress remains — and the newer suburbs, larger semis and detached homes are common, generally with more straightforward roof access than the older terraced core.

National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the network across Newport and South Wales, 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 Newport — common questions.

Which areas around Newport do you cover?

The full NP postcode area, including Cwmbran, Caerleon, Risca, Caldicot, Chepstow, Bassaleg, Rogerstone and Malpas.

I'm in an older Newport terrace near the docks — will neighbouring roofs cause shading?

It can, which is exactly why we survey before quoting. We design the panel layout around your specific roof rather than assuming a standard setup.

Is solar worth it in Newport?

Yes. Newport's daylight totals sit comfortably in the useful range for solar, and a properly sized system covers much of your daytime use across spring to autumn.

Do you actually cover Newport, or subcontract it out?

We cover it directly. Our own engineers design and install every system across Newport and South Wales — 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.
