Yeovil is the second-largest town in Somerset with a population of ~45,784 and a strong aerospace and defence heritage — Leonardo Helicopters employs over 3,000 people on-site. With average house prices of £250,955, solar installations here deliver some of the fastest payback periods in our entire service area, typically 5–6 years for a standard 4.5kWp system.
South Somerset's Off-Gas Villages
The Yeovil constituency has approximately 25.4% off-gas-grid properties. Martock, Ilchester, Barwick, Mudford, Thornford, and Yetminster are predominantly off-grid — oil or LPG heated — and exceptionally well-suited to combined solar + battery + air source heat pump packages. Customers often see 55–60% reductions in lifetime energy costs.
