Loughborough homeowners are increasingly turning to solar panels and battery storage as energy costs soar and the town embraces its reputation for innovation. Known for its mix of student rentals, family homes, and rural properties near Charnwood Forest, Loughborough is perfect for solar adoption. At McConnells Green, we’ve seen growing interest in battery storage, which lets residents store excess solar energy for use at night or during peak rates. This combo, boosted by government incentives like zero VAT, cuts bills, boosts energy independence, and adds value to local properties.
Picture a recent install in Quorn, where we fitted a 6kW solar system with a 5kWh battery for a family wanting round-the-clock savings. The battery stores daytime energy, powering their home after sunset, and they’ve cut their grid use by over 50%. Another customer in Shepshed said, “McConnells Green designed a solar and storage setup that’s transformed how we use energy—it’s reliable and cost-effective.” These projects show how we tailor solutions to Loughborough’s needs, delivering low-maintenance systems that perform year after year.
