Solar panels in Bridge of Weir

Bridge of Weir is a leafy village in the Renfrewshire hills, known for its Victorian and Edwardian villas, the former leather tannery, and the Ranfurly Castle Golf Club. Many homes sit on elevated ground along Kilgraston Road, Prieston Road and Warlock Road with open southerly aspects over the Gryfe valley. The village has a mix of large detached stone-built houses, inter-war bungalows and a handful of modern developments. The elevated position at around 60 metres above sea level gives slightly higher wind exposure than lowland Paisley, which the surveyor factors into the mounting specification.

Roof note: Elevated positions and large slate roofs give good solar exposure. Some properties near the village centre may have conservation sensitivities — the surveyor checks this at the planning stage if the roof faces a public road.
