Verwood grew fast from the 1970s and most of its housing is detached houses and bungalows from that era, with simple roofs, garages for a battery and drives for an EV charger. Shading from the pine woodland that runs through the town is the one thing the survey looks at carefully, and back-contact panels keep their output far better where a tree catches the roof for part of the day.
Three Legged Cross, Woodlands and the villages towards Cranborne are on rural supplies, so backup is asked about more here than in the conurbation.
