Wiltshire is one of the most active solar markets in our extended service area. Solar Together Wiltshire — delivered jointly with Swindon — produced 1,581 installations and £16 million of private investment, accounting for 26% of all MCS-registered solar in both areas during the scheme.
Chippenham: Rowden Park Garden Village
Chippenham is transforming through the Rowden Park Garden Village — up to 1,000 homes in an Arts & Crafts setting. Bellway's Rowden Chase (225 homes), Crest Nicholson's Rowden Gate, and Redcliffe's Lackham Place (450+ homes) all include solar PV and EV charging as standard. Battery retrofits on these homes typically deliver 5–6 year payback.
Trowbridge: County Town Affordability
Trowbridge is Wiltshire's county town with average house prices of £289,957 — significantly more affordable than Bath (£556,552) or Chippenham (£322,755). For a standard 4.5kWp system, payback lands around 5–7 years, and the surrounding off-gas villages (Steeple Ashton, Great Hinton, Keevil, Edington) are ideal for solar + heat pump packages.
Swindon: Wichelstowe and Tadpole Garden Village
Swindon's Wichelstowe development (up to 4,500 homes, EPC A/B, solar PV and EV charging as standard) is one of the most ambitious net zero estates in England. Adding battery storage to developer-installed solar is a standard D&R Energy service — and consistently pays back within 5–7 years.
