A Bright Month for Solar
June brought long days, warm weather and plenty of sunshine across Somerset, giving solar systems the ideal conditions to generate clean energy from early in the morning well into the evening.
For homeowners with solar, the particularly sunny weather meant more opportunities to generate and use their own electricity, while those with battery storage could also capture excess energy for use later in the day.
It was another busy month for our local, family-run Somerset team, with a wide range of solar and battery installations completed across the area. As always, every system was designed around the property and customer’s needs, using quality equipment built to last and with long-term performance in mind.
We’ve picked out some of our June installation highlights below.

Looking Ahead
After such a sunny June, it’s been a great reminder of just how much a well-designed solar system can generate during the longer days of summer.
For homeowners with battery storage, that solar energy can work even harder. Excess electricity generated during the day can be stored and used later, helping to reduce reliance on the grid and make better use of the energy produced at home.
Whether you’re considering solar for the first time, looking to add battery storage to an existing system or simply want to understand what might work best for your property, our local, family-run Somerset team is always happy to offer honest, straightforward advice.
With more than 20 years of experience, we design systems around the property and customer’s needs, using quality equipment built to last and providing long-term support well beyond the installation itself.
