Ferndown is bungalow country. A large share of the housing in Ferndown, West Moors and West Parley is single-storey or chalet-style from the 1960s to the 1980s, with big hipped roofs and plenty of south-facing pitch. For a couple at home during the day that means a modest system covers most of their use; for a family with an EV on the drive the same roof can carry a bigger array and a battery.
Plots are generous and many homes have a garage or a long drive, which makes a wall-mounted OCEAN 2 and a PowerPulse 2 charger straightforward to site. The industrial estate at Ferndown is also one of the places commercial solar makes most sense locally: daytime load, flat roofs, three-phase supplies.
