18-Panel Solar Installation in Eastbourne

18 panels · 8.5 kWp · 10.0 kWh battery

We installed an 18-panel solar system for a homeowner in Eastbourne. This system features Jinko Solar JKM470N-60HL4 panels, providing a total of 8.46 kWp. An Anker SOLIX X1-H6K-S inverter manages the power, alongside a 10 kWh Anker SOLIX X1-B5-H battery. Completed in July 2026, this system typically generates 7,004 kWh annually. It offsets 56% of the home's electricity consumption. The homeowner sees estimated annual savings of £1,565.

Installer’s notes

18 panels, 8.46 kWp (the size of the array), with a 10 kWh Anker battery. This is the largest Eastbourne system we have published. Even so, the design covered only part of what the household uses. This home gets through a lot of electricity, so the system brings a big bill down rather than removing it. We say that at quote stage, not afterwards.
