Northamptonshire’s residents, from market towns like Kettering to rural villages in the Nene Valley, are increasingly adopting solar panels and battery storage as energy costs rise. The county’s diverse properties—ranging from historic cottages to modern homes—offer ideal rooftops for solar. At McConnells Green, we’ve noticed a surge in interest in batteries, which store surplus solar energy for use at night or during peak rates, enhancing savings and resilience. With government incentives like zero VAT, solar boosts property values and cuts bills across this picturesque region.
Picture a recent install in Daventry, where we set up a 9kW solar system with a 6kWh battery for a family seeking greater energy independence. The battery powers their home after sunset, cutting their grid use by over 52%. A customer in Brackley said, “McConnells Green delivered a solar and storage system that’s affordable and efficient—it’s been a brilliant investment.” These projects demonstrate how we adapt to Northamptonshire’s varied landscapes, providing low-maintenance solutions that endure.
