Solar panels in Yeovil
Solar for Yeovil homes and businesses, and for the Hamstone cottages and rural properties in the villages nearby.
Homes and roofs in Yeovil
Yeovil is the largest town in South Somerset, with Victorian and Edwardian streets near the centre and plenty of later housing around it. Most of the town’s homes have conventional pitched roofs that suit standard panels, and we check direction and shading at the survey.
Business and industry
Yeovil has a long engineering and aerospace tradition, and the town has industrial estates and large commercial buildings. Daytime power use on these sites is high, so solar roofs can cut costs well. Batteries and EV chargers for staff and fleets are worth considering at the same time. See commercial solar.
Hamstone villages
Nearby villages such as Montacute and Stoke sub Hamdon are known for golden Ham Hill stone, and many have conservation areas and listed buildings. Rules for these properties are stricter than for ordinary houses. Check with Somerset Council or ask us, and we will look at what is possible.

Solar questions in Yeovil
Do you cover villages around Yeovil?
Yes. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
Can my business cut costs with solar?
Often. Businesses with high daytime use do best. Send your address and a recent bill and we will give a rough quote.
Can I fit panels on a stone cottage in a conservation area?
It may be possible. Check with Somerset Council about planning, and tell us about the roof and we will advise.
How much do solar panels cost?
Energy Saving Trust puts a typical 4.5 kWp home system at around £7,600. Your price depends on your roof, the system size, the equipment, scaffolding and whether you add a battery. After a survey we send a written quote.
Do I need planning permission?
Most houses can have solar panels under permitted development, so planning permission is not usually needed. Listed buildings, conservation areas and national parks are exceptions. Your system also has to be registered with your network operator, and we confirm what is needed for your property.
