Enquire NowSolar Energy in the Heart of the Avon Valley
Ringwood is uniquely positioned between the Avon Valley and the New Forest National Park. This location offers great solar potential, but also comes with specific considerations. At Starks Solar, our "local roots" mean we know exactly how to navigate these challenges to get the best results for our customers in Hightown, Crow, and Ellingham.
From Electrical Contractors to Solar Experts
Our journey began in 2012 as skilled electrical contractors. We built our reputation on reliability and safety. As the energy landscape evolved, we recognized that our customers wanted energy independence. We didn't just jump on a bandwagon; we retrained and upskilled to become MCS Certified solar experts. This electrical background means we understand the grid, your fuse board, and the safety of your home better than a sales-only solar company ever could.
Navigating the New Forest Border
Living on the edge of the New Forest (in areas like Burley or Hangersley) often means dealing with specific planning constraints or shading from protected trees. We offer bespoke system designs that take this into account. We use advanced optimization technology to mitigate shading from forest canopies, ensuring your system generates maximum power even if part of the roof is shaded.
Bespoke Design for Ringwood Homes
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. A bungalow in Ashley Heath has different energy needs to a townhouse in Ringwood centre. We conduct a detailed site assessment, analyzing roof orientation and energy usage habits (e.g., do you have an EV? Do you work from home?). We then provide a clear projection of your savings and Return on Investment (ROI), so you can make an informed decision.
