We're a Leicester-based installer, and Leicester is our home patch. From the Victorian terraces of Clarendon Park and the West End to the 1930s semis of Knighton, Evington and Humberstone and the larger detached homes out towards Oadby and Stoneygate, we've fitted solar and battery systems across the full range of housing the city has to offer. Because we're based here, a Leicester install means shorter travel, faster surveys, and a team that knows the local roofs, the local planning rules and the DNO process across the LE postcodes.
Terraces make up close to a third of Leicester's housing. The rear roof slope is usually the sweet spot for panels — good pitch, out of sight of the street, and typically no planning issues. Where the front slope faces the road and sits within a conservation area, different rules apply (see the FAQ below). We design around chimney stacks, shared party walls and access so the install is clean and compliant.
Semi-detached homes are more common in Leicester than nationally, and their gable and hipped roofs are ideal for a standard 4kW system — often with a south, east or west aspect that delivers strong year-round generation.
Bigger roofs mean room for a larger array plus battery storage — the setup that gives the biggest bill savings and the most energy independence after dark.
Whatever your roof, your free survey gives you an exact system design and generation estimate for your specific property.

From our Leicester base we install across the city and surrounding towns:
In most cases, no. Solar panels on a house are usually "permitted development", provided they don't project more than 200mm from the roof slope and aren't fitted above the ridgeline. The main exceptions in Leicester: if your home is in a conservation area, panels on a roof slope or wall that faces a highway (typically the front elevation) need planning permission, and some Leicester conservation areas — such as around New Walk and parts of Stoneygate — carry Article 4 directions that remove further permitted-development rights. Listed buildings always need consent. We check your property's status against Leicester City Council's records during your free survey and handle any application if one's needed.
All Leicester LE postcodes and the surrounding towns — Oadby, Wigston, Syston, Birstall, Glenfield, Braunstone, Blaby, Countesthorpe and more — plus the wider East and West Midlands from our Leicester base. Based in Leicester, we install solar across England — if you're outside the areas listed, get in touch and we'll confirm coverage for your postcode.
Most Leicester homes save between roughly £600 and £1,100 a year with solar alone, depending on roof size, orientation and usage. Adding battery storage typically increases that by a further 25–40%. Your free survey gives an exact projection for your home.
Yes. Every EcoEnergy Solax installation is MCS-certified — which is also the legal requirement to receive Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments for the electricity you export back to the grid.
Most residential installs take just 1–2 days. We handle the survey, system design, installation, grid-connection paperwork and SEG registration.
