In Nottingham, rising energy costs and a growing push for sustainability are driving more homeowners to embrace solar power. The city’s blend of terraced homes, semis, and larger properties in areas like West Bridgford offers ample opportunities for solar installations. At McConnells Green, we’ve seen increased demand from Nottingham residents eager to cut their carbon footprint and take advantage of government incentives like zero VAT. Our systems not only lower bills but also boost property value, making them a smart investment for the city’s eco-conscious community.

Consider a recent project in Beeston, where we installed an 8kW solar system for a family looking to reduce their energy bills. Our tailored design fit perfectly with their Victorian home’s roof, and they’ve since reported savings of nearly 50% on their electricity costs. Another Nottingham customer, from Wollaton, shared, “McConnells Green listened to what we wanted and delivered a system that’s exceeded our expectations—it’s been a game-changer for our household.”
Last year, we installed a 4kW solar system for a family in Sherwood. With Nottingham’s average sunlight, they’re now saving £600 annually on bills and reducing CO2 emissions by over a tonne.
