Selec Group design and install solar panels and battery storage for homes in Huntingdon and the villages around it. We are based in Spaldwick, six miles west of the town on the A14, so Huntingdon is home turf rather than the edge of a service area. Call 01480 400607 for a free survey, or use the button below.
What we install in Huntingdon
Most of our Huntingdon jobs are between 10 and 16 panels with a battery, on the semis, detached houses and bungalows you find across Hartford, Sapley, Oxmoor, Stukeley Meadows, Brampton, Godmanchester and Hinchingbrooke. We use JA Solar all black 465W panels as standard, with Sigenergy, SolarEdge or Tesla Powerwall for the battery and inverter depending on what suits the house and how you use electricity. If you want to see what a typical job looks like, our video library has full walk throughs filmed on real installs.
Why a local installer matters for solar
The panels are the easy part. What decides whether the system pays back is the design: how many panels the roof will actually take, where the shading is, whether the DNO (UK Power Networks in this area) will allow the export you want, and whether the battery is sized for your evening use rather than the salesman’s target. We survey every roof ourselves. A recent job in Grafham had been quoted for 10 panels by a national firm; we fitted 16 on the same roof because we walked it.
Because we are electricians first, the consumer unit, the bonding and the earthing get done properly at the same time. We are NAPIT registered, MCS certified and TrustMark approved, and every install comes with our six year workmanship guarantee.
What it costs
A 12 panel system with a 10kWh battery in Huntingdon is typically £11,000 to £14,000 fitted, depending on roof access, scaffold and the battery you choose. VAT on domestic solar and batteries is zero rated until March 2027. We give a fixed price after the survey, not an estimate that grows.
Common questions from Huntingdon customers
Does my roof need to face south?
No. East and west facing roofs work well and often suit a battery better because generation is spread across the day. We have fitted a full east facing array on a garage roof in the area and it performs as designed.
Do I need planning permission?
Not for most houses in Huntingdon. Solar is permitted development unless the property is listed or in a conservation area, where we check with Huntingdonshire District Council first.
How long does the install take?
One to two days on site for most systems, with the scaffold up a day or two before. We handle the DNO application, the MCS certificate and the paperwork for the Smart Export Guarantee.
