Premium electrical installations
across Norfolk

Afta Electrical covers the whole of Norfolk, from the urban centres of Norwich and Kings Lynn to the rural market towns of Dereham, Fakenham, Swaffham and Wymondham. We carry out solar PV installations, battery storage, EV charger installations, consumer unit replacements and EICR inspections across NR and PE postcodes, including the coast, the Broads and the west Norfolk fenland. Great Yarmouth, on the east coast, is among the sunniest towns in the entire UK — making it one of the best locations in the country for solar PV investment.

Norfolk's mix of detached rural homes, period farmhouses and newer estates presents a wide range of installation scenarios. Our engineers are experienced with all roof types — from traditional pitched clay and slate to modern concrete and flat-roof configurations. We assess each property individually to ensure the system we recommend is correctly sized and optimally positioned, not one-size-fits-all.

Norfolk — among the sunniest areas for solar

The east of England, including Norfolk, receives above-average annual solar irradiance. Properties in the Great Yarmouth and North Norfolk coast areas consistently rank among the best locations for solar PV return on investment in the entire UK. We provide site-specific generation estimates during every free survey.

Common Questions

FAQs — Electrical services
in Norfolk

Do you cover rural Norfolk, including the Broads and North Norfolk coast?

Yes. We cover urban, suburban and rural Norfolk including the Norfolk Broads, the North Norfolk coast, the Brecks and the fenland areas of west Norfolk. Many of our most rewarding projects are on rural properties — farmhouses, barns and agricultural buildings — where the combination of large roof areas and minimal shading makes solar an excellent investment.

Why is Norfolk a particularly good location for solar panels?

Norfolk, especially the eastern coastal areas around Great Yarmouth and Cromer, consistently records some of the highest levels of solar irradiance in the UK. The county's flat landscape and low rainfall also reduce shading and soiling issues that can affect generation elsewhere. We use site-specific irradiance data in every survey to give you accurate, realistic generation and financial projections.

Can you install solar on a thatched roof in Norfolk?

Solar panels cannot be installed directly onto thatched roofing material as a general rule — the fixings and potential fire risk make it unsuitable. However, many Norfolk properties with thatched roofs also have barn conversions, outbuildings or sections of non-thatched roof that can accommodate solar. We assess all roof types and available structures during the survey and will always be honest if solar is not viable for your property.

How long does it take to install an EV charger in Norfolk?

A standard home EV charger installation in Norfolk takes approximately two to three hours from arrival to completion. This includes fitting the charger unit, running the cable, installing the IP65 surge protection consumer unit, completing all testing and commissioning the app where applicable. You will receive your Part P certificate and all documentation on the day.

Do you serve both residential and commercial customers in Norfolk?

Yes. We serve homeowners, landlords, businesses and commercial property owners across Norfolk. Residential services include solar PV, battery storage, EV chargers, consumer unit replacements and EICR inspections. Commercial services include larger-scale solar PV, ground-mounted arrays, commercial battery storage and commercial EV charging infrastructure.
