Hailsham: Perfect for Solar Energy
Hailsham, nestled in the Wealden district of East Sussex, offers some of the best conditions for solar panel installation in the county. With less shading than urban areas, larger properties, and strong community support for renewable energy, Hailsham homeowners are ideally positioned to benefit from solar power.
Eastbourne Energy has completed numerous installations across Hailsham and the surrounding villages. Here's what local homeowners should know about going solar.
Why Hailsham Properties Excel with Solar
Ideal Conditions
- Less Shading: Rural and semi-rural properties typically have fewer tall buildings and trees causing shade
- Larger Roof Spaces: Many Hailsham homes have bigger roofs than urban properties, allowing for larger systems
- Higher Energy Usage: Larger properties often have higher electricity bills, meaning greater savings potential
- Land for Ground Mount: Some properties have space for ground-mounted solar arrays
