Solar in Oxford
Oxford's identity splits fairly cleanly in two: the university core of college buildings and historic streets — heavily listed and conservation-protected — and Cowley, built up around the Morris Motors car works and still carrying the Victorian and interwar terraces put up for its workforce. Most residential solar work happens in the second Oxford, not the first, and the two need completely different approaches.
Homes in and around the historic centre, Jericho and parts of Summertown carry conservation area or listed status, and we check this properly at survey — rear roof planes usually keep a Jericho terrace within permitted development, but we won't promise that before actually looking at your specific property.
Cowley, Headington and the newer estates towards Kidlington and Botley have far more straightforward roofs with fewer restrictions, generally making solar simpler to design and quicker to get consented where consent is even needed.
SSEN runs the electricity network across Oxford and Oxfordshire, 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 Oxford — common questions.
Can I get solar on a period property in Jericho or central Oxford?
Often yes on rear roof planes, subject to the specific conservation rules for your street. We assess this honestly at survey — central Oxford has more planning sensitivity than most towns we cover.
Which areas around Oxford do you cover?
The full OX postcode area, including Kidlington, Abingdon, Witney, Bicester, Cowley, Headington, Botley and Summertown.
Is solar easier outside central Oxford?
Generally yes. Cowley, Headington and the newer estates have far fewer planning restrictions than the historic centre and Jericho, and often more straightforward roof access too.
Do you actually cover Oxford, or subcontract it out?
We cover it directly. Our own engineers design and install every system across Oxford and Oxfordshire — nothing is subcontracted to a third-party fitting crew.
Do you handle the grid connection paperwork?
Yes. We manage the DNO notification with SSEN and the commissioning as part of the install — you don't need to chase any forms.
