Across Derbyshire, from bustling towns like Chesterfield to rural hamlets in the Peak District, homeowners are embracing solar panels and battery storage as energy costs climb. The county’s mix of stone cottages, modern builds, and expansive rooftops makes it ripe for solar adoption. At McConnells Green, we’re seeing more locals opt for batteries to store daytime solar power, using it during evenings or peak tariff times to maximize savings. With government incentives like zero VAT, solar enhances property values and cuts bills throughout this scenic region.

Consider a project in Matlock, where we installed a 10kW solar system with a 5kWh battery for a family eager to lower their energy footprint. The battery stores excess power, keeping their home running efficiently after sunset, and they’ve slashed their bills by over 60%. A customer in Belper told us, “McConnells Green designed a solar and storage system that’s perfect for our needs—it’s affordable, reliable, and hassle-free.” These examples show how we adapt to Derbyshire’s varied homes, delivering low-maintenance solutions that endure.
