Why do Polmont homes suit solar panels?
Polmont has a mix of older village housing and newer residential developments near the canal. Many of these homes have clear, unobstructed rooflines with good orientation for solar PV. The relatively low-density housing means shading from neighbouring buildings is less of an issue than in denser urban areas, which helps generation.
Is battery storage popular in Polmont?
Yes. Many Polmont residents commute to Edinburgh, Glasgow or nearby towns, so homes are often empty during peak generating hours. A battery captures the surplus and makes it available in the evening and overnight, which means you use more of what your panels generate rather than exporting it to the grid.
