Solar Panel Installation in Berkshire

Berkshire sits at the heart of the Thames Valley, a prosperous commuter belt county with excellent solar potential. With around 1,500 hours of sunshine per year and a high proportion of detached and semi-detached properties, the county offers ideal conditions for residential solar. Over 860 Berkshire homes already have solar panels, with Reading and Slough leading local adoption — and that number is growing quickly as energy prices continue to rise.

The county’s housing ranges from the grand Victorian and Edwardian properties of Ascot and Windsor to the modern family homes of Bracknell and Woodley, and the established suburbs of Reading, Wokingham, and Maidenhead. Many Berkshire homes sit on generous plots with large, unshaded roofs — perfect for maximising panel count. Typical detached properties can accommodate 12–16 panels, generating enough electricity to cover the bulk of a household’s annual consumption and charge an electric vehicle.

Lunar Solar serves the whole of Berkshire, from the royal borough of Windsor and Maidenhead to the leafy suburbs of Wokingham and the university town of Reading. We understand the mix of property types across the county, from heritage considerations in Windsor’s conservation areas to optimising installations on the large new-build estates in Bracknell Forest. With strong commuter demand for EV charging and high electricity bills typical of larger Thames Valley homes, solar in Berkshire delivers some of the best payback periods we see.
