Welcome to Cheshunt – A Forward-Thinking Town Ready for Greener Living
Cheshunt has always had a unique feel — a mix of old Hertfordshire charm combined with the energy of a growing commuter town. From the historic footprint of the Romans to the modern development around Brookfield and the A10 corridor, Cheshunt continues to evolve with every generation.
The town was once famous for its massive nursery industry and the headquarters of Tesco, which helped shape employment and innovation in the area. Over time, Cheshunt has transformed into a diverse community of families, professionals, and long-standing residents who care about their homes, their energy bills, and the environment around them.
With beautiful outdoor spaces like Cedars Park, Theobalds Park, and the River Lea, it’s no surprise that local families are becoming increasingly committed to green living — and solar energy is now one of the most popular upgrades across Cheshunt.
As energy prices continue climbing, Cheshunt homeowners are turning to solar panels and battery storage to take control of their costs, reduce reliance on the grid, and make their homes more sustainable. And at JJB Electrical Ltd, we’re proud to help our community make that transition smoothly, safely, and affordably.
Why Solar Power Is Growing Rapidly in Cheshunt
Over the last few years, we’ve seen a huge increase in demand from homes across Cheshunt — from the older properties around The Old Pond to the newer builds near Brookfield, Rosedale, and Goffs Lane. But why now?
1. Rising Energy Bills Are Forcing Homeowners to Look for Long-Term Solutions
Every household in Cheshunt has felt the reality of rising electricity prices. Solar allows homeowners to generate their own energy during the day, drastically reducing dependence on the grid.
With a battery added, your home can use solar power day and night, especially during peak tariff hours.
2. Cheshunt Homes Are Perfectly Positioned for Solar Generation
The town has a mixture of older roofs with great pitch angles and modern estates designed with open roof lines. Many homes enjoy clear south, southeast, or southwest-facing spaces — ideal for solar output.
3. More People Are Planning for Electric Vehicles
The EV revolution is already underway in Cheshunt. Homes in places like Goffs Oak, Hammondstreet, Park Lane, and Cheshunt Wash are preparing by installing solar panels now, so they can charge their EVs cheaply in the future.
4. Cheshunt Residents Are Ahead of the Curve on Green Energy
With easy access to the Lea Valley and a strong outdoor culture, many local families are motivated by environmental benefits as much as financial ones. Solar and battery systems are a simple and effective way to reduce your household’s carbon footprint.
5. A Growing Number of Local Installers — But Few With Real Expertise
There has been an increase in solar companies advertising in Cheshunt, but not all are qualified electricians, and many lack proper accreditation.
At JJB Electrical Ltd, all solar work is carried out by fully trained renewable electricians, NAPIT-approved, and compliant with MCS guidelines for safe, reliable installations.
How Solar Panels Work on a Cheshunt Home
Solar PV systems might seem complicated, but the process is incredibly simple:
Panels on your roof collect sunlight
Even on cloudy days, the panels generate electricity.
Your inverter converts the power
The inverter changes the electricity from DC to AC so your home can use it.
Your home uses the solar electricity first
This automatically reduces what you buy from the grid.
Excess energy can be stored in a battery
This is where savings rapidly increase — especially for busy families who use most of their energy in the evening.
Any extra power can be sold back to the grid
You earn money for unused energy via a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
It’s simple, silent, and incredibly effective.
Battery Storage: Where Solar Gets Even Better
For many Cheshunt homeowners, the battery is the real game-changer.
Why?
Because a battery allows you to:
- Use solar energy long after the sun has gone down
- Charge your home during cheaper off-peak tariffs
- Reduce grid dependency during winter
- Have more control over your household energy usage
We install modern, reliable systems including Growatt hybrid inverters and APX HV battery modules — which are safe, efficient, and perfect for both small and large properties.
Why Cheshunt Homes Benefit More Than Most Towns
We’ve installed solar and battery systems all across Hertfordshire and Essex, but Cheshunt stands out for several reasons:
1. Strong roof orientation throughout the town
Many homes — especially the ones around Rosedale, Andrews Lane, Church Lane, and Theobalds Lane — have ideal roof angles for solar output.
2. Growing estates creating high demand
New developments around Brookfield and the A10 are filled with families who want stable, long-term energy bills.
3. High EV adoption
Electric vehicles are commonplace in Cheshunt, and solar is the perfect partner.
4. Large family homes with big energy usage
From detached homes near Goffs Oak to semis around Flamstead End, many households use enough energy to justify a full solar + battery system.
5. A community that values quality upgrades
Cheshunt residents are house-proud and invested in future-proofing their homes. Solar is seen as a premium upgrade with real long-term value.
