Solar Panels on a Roof in Hampshire

Is Totton Good for Solar Energy?

Absolutely. Totton enjoys some of the highest solar irradiance levels in the UK due to its southern coastal location near Southampton Water. Even homes without a perfectly South-facing roof can generate significant power.

East/West Split Roofs

Many properties in Calmore and West Totton have East/West facing roofs. These are actually ideal for modern working families, as you generate power in the morning (breakfast time) and late afternoon (when the kids get home), matching your natural usage curve.

Coastal Considerations

Being close to the estuary means salt air and seagulls can be factors. We include premium bird proofing (worth £300) for free with every Totton installation to protect your investment from nesting birds.

Battery Storage Installation in Totton

Solar panels are only half the solution. To truly immunize yourself against rising energy caps in Totton, you need to store the energy you generate.

We install the latest Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall, and AI-driven storage systems. These allow you to store free solar power during the day and use it in the evening when grid prices are highest.

  • Backup Power: Keep your lights, WiFi, and freezer running during power cuts (essential for rural fringe areas).
  • Smart Arbitrage: Charge from the grid when rates are cheap (e.g., 7p/kWh overnight) and discharge when rates are high.
  • Compact Design: Perfect for garages in Totton or utility rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from our customers in Totton & Eling

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Totton?
Generally, no. In most parts of Totton (including Calmore and Hounsdown), solar panels are considered "Permitted Development". However, if you live in a Listed Building in Eling or within the specific boundaries of the New Forest National Park, restrictions may apply. We handle all these checks for you as part of our service.
How much can I save on energy bills in Totton?
Most of our Totton customers reduce their electricity bills by 60-80% when combining solar panels with battery storage. With the current energy price cap, this typically amounts to savings of £800 to £1,200 per year, depending on your usage and roof size.
Do you offer bird proofing for solar panels?
Yes. Starks Solar includes premium bird proofing worth £300 completely free with every installation in Totton. This prevents seagulls and pigeons (common near the estuary) from nesting under your array, protecting cables and reducing noise.
Are you MCS Certified?
Yes, Starks Solar is fully MCS Certified (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) and NICEIC approved. This ensures your installation in Totton meets the highest quality standards and qualifies you for any SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) payments from energy suppliers.
