Solar Panels in Windsor - Costs & Heritage Installation Guide
Installing Solar in Royal Windsor
Windsor presents unique opportunities and challenges for solar installations. As a royal borough with significant heritage, many properties require sensitive approaches - but that does not mean solar is off the table. Our experience in SL4 postcodes shows that premium all-black systems can complement even the most prestigious properties.
Windsor Solar Panel Costs
Premium property areas typically command slightly higher installation costs due to aesthetic requirements:
- 3kW System: £5,800 - £7,000 - Suitable for period cottages near the river
- 4kW System: £7,000 - £8,500 - Popular for Victorian terraces in the town
- 5kW System: £8,200 - £10,000 - Ideal for larger homes in Clewer and Dedworth
- 6kW+ System: £9,800 - £13,000 - For executive properties in Old Windsor
Conservation Area Considerations
Much of Windsor falls within conservation areas. Key considerations include:
- Panel Aesthetics: All-black panels with black frames are essential for heritage settings
- Roof Position: Installations on rear-facing or non-visible roof slopes typically require no planning permission
- Listed Buildings: Properties near the Castle may need Listed Building Consent
- Our Experience: We have completed numerous installations in RBWM conservation areas
