In a major step towards urban sustainability, the A P Loveridge Trading Estate - located next to Southampton Central Station - has partnered with Absolar to install solar panels across six commercial buildings, helping to cut energy bills and carbon emissions for its diverse community of local businesses.
The project was inspired by the successful Draper Tools installation. With rising costs and a growing commitment to sustainable operations, the estate’s managers approached Absolar to explore similar solutions. The result: a high-performance solar PV system, set to deliver both financial and environmental benefits from day one.

I would just like to share my experience of using Absolar for a solar panel installation recently, I have nothing but praise for this company and how professional and courteous everyone I dealt with have been. Phil, Akash, Jen and the installation team were all fantastic from quotation to completion and beyond, nothing has been too much trouble for them and I can confirm this is a very professional company that I would not hesitate to use again. I am in no way connected to Absolar and do not often leave reviews however this company certainly deserves 5 stars.
Many thanks to the whole team.
