What Solar Savings Look Like in Bunker Hill

The prevalence of single-family homes (79%) and high homeownership (75.1%) in Bunker Hill provides a suitable environment for solar adoption. While many homes are older, built around 1955, their rural/small town setting often means larger lot sizes, which can reduce shading from adjacent structures and offer ample roof or ground space for systems.
