Solar Panels in Bridgwater
Bridgwater is a market town of 41,276 people in the heart of the Somerset Levels, experiencing significant economic growth driven by Hinkley Point C — one of Europe's largest construction projects, with approximately 12,000 workers currently on-site during peak construction. EDF established a £4 million local housing fund to create 4,000 extra bed spaces and operates three worker accommodation campuses, generating strong private rental demand across Bridgwater, Taunton, Burnham-on-Sea, and Highbridge. This economic activity is fuelling substantial new residential development across the area.
The 616-acre Gravity Smart Campus on the former Royal Ordnance Factory site is targeting the low-carbon economy with plans for thousands of new jobs in EV, green hydrogen, and cleantech sectors. With average house prices of £244,524, solar installations in Bridgwater offer some of the fastest payback periods in our service area — typically under 6 years for a standard 4.5kWp system. The surrounding Somerset Levels include many rural properties off the gas grid where combined solar and battery systems provide excellent energy independence.

What Our Customers Say
“With electricity prices rising we decided solar was the right move. D&R Energy fitted 10 Exiom panels on our post-war semi in Sydenham. Installation was done in a single day and the team left the site spotless. Already saving around £65 a month compared to this time last year.”
