Solar panels in Farnham: a local intro
Farnham is a historic market town with substantial period housing and a large central conservation area. Solar works well here but in-roof and sympathetic designs are typically required in the centre.
Why solar works well in Farnham
Farnham averages around 1,010 kWh/kWp annually.
The benefits of solar panels
A modern residential solar system cuts your electricity bills from day one, insulates you against future energy-price rises, reduces carbon emissions, and (with the Smart Export Guarantee) pays you for any surplus power you send to the grid. With a 25-year panel performance warranty, you'll generate clean energy for two decades after the system has paid for itself.
Solar battery storage
Adding battery storage to a Farnham solar install typically lifts self-consumption from around 35% to 75-85%, dramatically cutting the amount of expensive grid electricity you import in the evening. Combined with a smart tariff like Octopus Flux, a properly sized battery can save a further £400-£900 per year — typically paying back in 7-10 years.
EV charger installation
More Farnham households now charge an electric vehicle from home than ever before. A solar-aware charger (Zappi, Hypervolt, Ohme) lets you fuel many of your summer miles from excess solar generation — effectively at 0 p/kWh.
