Checked against your actual property, not an area-wide guess
Hertfordshire covers towns such as St Albans, Harpenden and Berkhamsted — with Hitchin, Welwyn and Potters Bar on the fringe where relevant. Commuter-belt homes, mixed Victorian–interwar–modern stock, and many larger plots and driveways north of London generally suit solar, heat pumps and home EV charging better than dense inner-urban housing.
Pretium Synergy installs solar PV, battery storage, air source heat pumps and EV chargers here — checked against your actual property and planning status, not a generic county-wide estimate.
Parts of the county — including historic centres such as areas of St Albans and Berkhamsted — sit in or near conservation designations. What that means for solar or a heat pump depends on the exact address. General householder restrictions are not automatically the same as microgeneration (Part 14) rules.
Green Belt designations sit between London and many Hertfordshire towns. That usually affects new building more than solar or heat pumps on an existing home, but it still matters if your property sits on that fringe — we confirm at address level.
Larger plots and driveways are common across much of the county belt — a practical fit for EV charging and often for heat pumps — without removing the need for a survey on orientation, electrics and heating system.
Planning and connection checks form part of the initial assessment — not an afterthought once you have ordered.
Much of Hertfordshire sits within UK Power Networks’ licence areas, but the precise licence for a named town should be confirmed at assessment. Solar and battery may proceed under G98 notification or need G99 — Pretium handles this and flags early if the longer route is likely.

Planning information above is a general guide based on area-wide patterns and may not reflect your specific address. Conservation area boundaries, Article 4 directions, and permitted development rights for solar and heat pump installations specifically should always be confirmed against the relevant Hertfordshire planning authority’s current planning records before work proceeds — we do this as standard as part of your assessment.
