Portswood is a vibrant area with a popular high street, close to the University of Southampton. While it has a large student population in shared houses, many streets are home to long-term residents and families in well-maintained Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Homeowners in Portswood are increasingly turning to solar to reduce their bills.
The terraced housing stock suits 3kW systems well. Some of the larger semi-detached properties along the main roads can accommodate 4kW arrays. Good sun exposure on most streets.
No special restrictions in the main residential streets. Some properties near the Portswood Road conservation area may require additional consideration.
As a homeowner surrounded by student lets, I wanted to future-proof my property. Tom installed a neat 3kW system on my Victorian terrace - looks great and the bills have dropped noticeably.
