Located in South Yorkshire, Doncaster is in the UK solar hotspot which although not traditionally thought of as a place for solar panels has one of the highest levels of solar uptake in the country. Doncaster is an average area for insolation levels, the amount of sunshine that falls on this part of the country. Despite not being the most ideal location for solar panels there has been a good level of solar installations in parts of the Doncaster postcode area.
Doncaster is located on the eastern edge of what I call the UK's solar hotspot. So called because of the high concentration of free solar installation companies and the high uptake of solar panel installations. Free solar panels installers nearby include Wakefield's Viscount Solar, Barnsley's A Shade Greener, GEP Solutions in Sheffield, Derby based Heatscape and E.on Energy in Nottingham.
