Solar panels in East Sussex, coast to Weald
East Sussex is one of the sunnier counties in England — roughly 1,750–1,850 hours of sunshine a year against a UK average nearer 1,500 — so a well-sited roof here starts from a better baseline than most of the country.
A useful solar design still starts with the individual site. Roof direction, pitch, shading, available land, electricity use, and grid constraints matter more than a county-wide headline figure. We model those factors before recommending a system.
The county's property mix is unusually varied: Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Brighton and Hastings, period homes in Lewes and Battle, modern estates in Eastbourne, Polegate and Hailsham, rural farmhouses and cottages across the Weald, and exposed coastal properties from Seaford to Bexhill. Each shapes the design differently, and local knowledge of South Downs National Park boundaries, conservation areas and UK Power Networks' connection process is what keeps a project moving. For a complete overview of pricing, panel options, and our installer credentials, see our full guide to solar panel installation.

Built for East Sussex — one local team
We're based in Eastbourne and have been installing across the county for years. That means we know the properties, the councils, the planning quirks, and the coastal engineering requirements better than any out-of-area firm.
Coastal engineering
On exposed shoreline roofs we allow for salt air and wind exposure with corrosion-resistant fixings and components, and cable routes and roof access checked at survey.
Planning & compliance
Our designers prepare heritage statements, load calculations and UKPN applications so you remain fully compliant.
Monitoring & support
Live monitoring dashboards plus annual health checks ensure arrays in rural hamlets and town centres keep earning.
Solar designs for businesses and land
We also design small-commercial and ground-mounted systems where the building, electricity use, grid connection, and available space make them a sensible fit.
Small commercial solar
Usage-led solar and battery design for offices, workshops, practices, community buildings, farms, and other smaller commercial premises.
