Why Solar Works in Formby

Formby is ultra-affluent — Freshfield's Shireburn Road is the most expensive road in Merseyside at £1.16m+ average. Predominantly detached homes with excellent roof capacity for solar. The National Trust red squirrel reserve and pristine beach attract visitors year-round. Limited new development due to Green Belt, SSSI, and coastal erosion constraints makes rooftop solar the primary renewable energy opportunity.
