Bassett is one of Southampton's most sought-after residential areas, known for its leafy streets, detached homes, and proximity to Southampton Common. Many properties here have large south-facing roofs that are ideal for solar panels. Homeowners in Bassett tend to have higher electricity usage, making the savings from solar particularly worthwhile.
The larger roof areas typical of Bassett homes can accommodate 4-6kW systems with ease. Many properties have unshaded south or south-west facing pitches, ideal for maximum generation.
Most installations in Bassett fall under permitted development. Some properties near Southampton Common may have tree preservation orders affecting shading assessments.
Tom was fantastic from start to finish. He came round, explained everything in plain English, and had the panels up in a day. Our electricity bill has dropped by about two-thirds.
