Solar panels in Houston

Houston is a village west of Paisley with a historic core around the Kirk and Main Street, surrounded by newer private housing built from the 1980s onward. Properties tend to be larger detached homes with generous roof areas set in sizeable gardens. The village sits in open countryside between Paisley and Bridge of Weir, with farmland on three sides, so shading from neighbouring buildings is rare. Houston’s position on slightly elevated ground above the flood plain of the River Gryfe gives many roofs a clear southern aspect. The primary school, village hall and North Common provide orientation landmarks when describing roof direction to us over the phone.
