Nature Reserve Town

Thatcham is famous for its nature discovery centre and reedbeds. Residents here often have strong environmental values, making solar an attractive option for reducing household carbon footprints.

GWR Commuter Benefits

Direct trains to Reading and London mean many residents are away during peak solar hours. Our battery solutions ensure you benefit from daytime generation even when commuting.
