Seaford: Sun, Sea, and Solar Power
Seaford, with its dramatic chalk cliffs and stunning seafront, is one of East Sussex's most picturesque coastal towns. It's also an excellent location for solar panels — combining high sunshine hours with a community that values sustainability.
At Eastbourne Energy, we've installed solar systems throughout Seaford, from the seafront properties to the homes in Bishopstone and Sutton.
Why Seaford Is Great for Solar
Sunshine Hours
Seaford enjoys approximately 1,800+ hours of sunshine annually — among the highest in the UK. The coastal location means fewer foggy days compared to inland areas.
Coastal Considerations for Seaford Solar
Salt Air & Corrosion
Seafront properties are exposed to salt-laden air. We address this by:
- Using marine-grade mounting brackets on coastal installations
- Selecting panels with enhanced corrosion-resistant frames
- Ensuring all electrical connections are properly sealed
