Solar Panel Installers Narborough

Narborough Postcodes and Areas We Cover

Narborough and Littlethorpe share the LE19 postcode district with Enderby. We also cover the LE9 villages to the west and south, such as Huncote, Croft, Thurlaston and Cosby, and LE8 to the east, which takes in Whetstone, Blaby and Countesthorpe.

• The old village: south of the B4114, along Coventry Road and Leicester Road, where the conservation area is
• The Pastures: the newer estate north-east of the B4114
• Littlethorpe: half a mile south-south-east, part of Narborough parish, with Thorpe Meadow on Station Road
• Enderby: just over a mile north, where the two villages meet
• Whetstone: about a mile and a quarter east
• Huncote: about a mile and a quarter west
• Cosby: just under two miles south-south-east
• Croft and Thurlaston: two miles south-west and about two and a half miles west-north-west

Commercial Solar Narborough

Carlton Park, on King Edward Avenue north of the village, was built on the former Carlton Hayes Hospital site and was home to the headquarters of Alliance and Leicester, which employed over 1,800 people locally. Santander has offices there, and Blaby District Council runs the whole district from its offices on Desford Road in Narborough.

Office and industrial roofs that are busy through the working day are where commercial solar works hardest, and we cover shops and firms in the village centre too. Payback on a business system is typically around 4 to 8 years, depending on how much of the output is used on site.

We handle the design, the grid application and maintenance afterwards, and businesses can claim capital allowances on the system cost (your accountant can confirm the relief). Read our guide to solar for businesses or see our case studies.

Residential Solar Narborough: Landlords and Developers

Blaby District Council's heritage survey describes the village as split by the B4114, with the historic centre to the south and modern suburban streets to the north, and notes little capacity to expand south, where Littlethorpe is close, or west, where a disused railway marks the edge. For a landlord, solar can lift the EPC rating of an older house, and on new plots it helps with Part L.

We run portfolio jobs as one project, with phased installs and Part P certification. Read about solar for property portfolios or new-build developments.

Domestic Solar Panels Narborough: Homeowners

A Narborough household with solar imports less power, and a battery lets the evening run on what the roof made in the afternoon. We cover the old village, the Pastures and Littlethorpe, and the villages around them from Enderby to Cosby.

The village rises gently towards All Saints Church, and Blaby's character assessment recommends keeping the church prominent on the skyline, so for a house in the conservation area on Coventry Road or Leicester Road we check the planning position before we design.

Domestic solar and battery installs are zero-rated for VAT, currently due to run until 31 March 2027 (the rate is set by when the job is installed and invoiced), and you are paid for exported power through the Smart Export Guarantee. We can add battery storage, EV charging and, if you want it, Home Assistant with Predbat as an optional extra.

What Matters for Solar in Narborough

Planning and Conservation

Blaby District Council decides planning applications from its own offices in Narborough, and Narborough Parish Council covers Littlethorpe too. Panels on a Narborough house rarely need planning permission, as most count as permitted development. The conservation area along Coventry Road and Leicester Road holds most of the village's listed buildings, including All Saints Church, Narborough Hall, the Narborough Arms and The Corner House, and in Littlethorpe The Old House and the Plough Inn on Station Road are listed. Blaby's Article 4 direction covers Braunstone Village, not Narborough, so none applies here. We check the listing and conservation position for your address first.

Grid Connection

Narborough sits on National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands network. Its published data shows a Whetstone primary substation to the east and one still named Alliance and Leicester next to Carlton Park. A typical home system is a G98 notification and anything bigger needs G99 consent, and we check your MPAN in case an independent network supplies a newer property.

Homes and Roofs

The name comes from the Old English for north fort. The Empire Stone Works, founded in the village in 1900, employed over 300 people making pre-cast concrete cladding finished to look like natural stone, and had its own railway sidings. It closed in 1994. The M1 passes to the east, and Narborough station has an hourly service to Leicester and to Hinckley, Nuneaton and Birmingham.

Kit, Warranties and Guarantees

We fit tier-one panels (30-year performance warranty on the models we use most), Solis hybrid inverters supplied with a 10-year warranty, and Fogstar batteries on most homes or Pylontech on larger commercial systems, and we can usually supply another make if you prefer; see our solar technology.

Every installation carries our 5-year workmanship guarantee and a QANW insurance-backed guarantee on top of the manufacturers' warranties, and Spectrum is insured through QBE UK Limited (£10M employers' liability, £5M public and products liability, £1M professional indemnity).

How It Works

We start with a satellite view of your roof and your electricity use, then send an all-inclusive design and quote (subject to site survey), normally within 48 hours. A site survey confirms the details, we handle the grid paperwork, and most homes are installed in 1 to 2 days, around 4 to 6 weeks from first enquiry; our installation guide explains each step.
