Harnessing Solar Energy in Wiltshire
Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, an area that enjoys some of the best solar irradiance levels in the UK relative to the north. Despite the occasional cloudy day, modern solar panel technology does not require blazing heat to generate electricity; it simply requires daylight.
With energy prices fluctuating, Trowbridge homeowners are increasingly turning to solar to secure their financial future. A typical 4kW system on a south or west-facing roof in areas like North Bradley or Staverton can generate roughly 3,500kWh of electricity annually. Given the current price cap, this represents a significant saving, often paying for the system in 6-8 years while adding value to your property.
Navigating Planning Permission in Trowbridge
One of the most common questions we get from residents in Trowbridge is regarding planning permission. Fortunately, for the vast majority of homes in Wiltshire, installing solar panels is considered Permitted Development. This means you do not need to file a formal planning application with Wiltshire Council, provided the panels do not protrude more than 200mm from the roof slope.
However, Trowbridge does have designated Conservation Areas and many Listed Buildings. If you live in a heritage property, Starks Solar can help guide you through the necessary approvals or suggest discreet placement options (such as ground-mounted arrays or in-roof systems) that comply with local regulations.

Battery Storage Installation in Trowbridge
Solar panels are only half the solution. In Trowbridge, many homeowners are out at work during peak sunlight hours. Without a battery, that valuable green energy is sent back to the grid for pennies.
To truly reduce your bills, you need Battery Storage. We install advanced systems like Sigenergy and Tesla Powerwall. These allow you to store free solar power during the day and use it in the evening when grid prices are highest.
Furthermore, with the rise of "Agile" smart tariffs, Trowbridge residents can charge their batteries from the grid during cheap overnight windows (e.g., 7p/kWh) and discharge them during peak times, virtually eliminating electricity bills in winter.
- Energy Security: Keep lights on during local power cuts.
- Smart Arbitrage: Buy low, use high.
- Compact Design: Perfect for garages and utility rooms in Trowbridge homes.
