Stockbridge (parts of EH3 and EH4) is largely Georgian listed terraces — most properties are Grade A or B listed and inside the New Town World Heritage Site. Solar installs are technically possible but require Listed Building Consent and are very rarely approved on visible roofs. Indicative 4 kWp price (where consented): £6,500–£8,000.

Frequently asked questions
Has anyone successfully installed solar in Stockbridge?
Yes, but very few. Approvals exist only for rear-elevation slates entirely invisible from the public highway, on Grade B (rather than Grade A) listed buildings. Most homeowners in EH3/EH4 are advised that solar isn't viable without significant heritage compromise.
