Pins are privacy-offset by around 100–200m, so the map never shows an exact customer address.
Design · Primary reason
Eastbourne enjoys around 1,900 sunshine hours per year — among the highest on the south coast. We design systems that make the most of that, whether you’re in a Victorian terrace near the seafront or a newer build off Kings Drive.
We know the roof shapes and access constraints across BN20–BN24 inside out. From compact dormers in Upperton to large detached homes in Ratton and Westham, every layout is designed around your specific property.
MCS certification, DNO paperwork, monitoring setup, and a clear handover are all included in every solar panel installation Eastbourne project we deliver. We're based locally, so aftercare is a phone call away — not a call centre.
Planning & permissions
Most homes in Eastbourne fall under permitted development, so no planning permission is needed. Properties in conservation areas (such as parts of Meads and the seafront) or listed buildings may need extra checks — we advise during the survey and handle any Eastbourne Borough Council submissions on your behalf.
Don't see your exact postcode in the coverage list above? We're often nearby — ask and we'll confirm quickly.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Lee and his efficient hard working team. Lee handled everything from the planning application, arranging the scaffolding and booking in the installation (which only took 1.5 days) to the certification and set up with the energy supplier. Lee was really helpful and happy to answer all of our questions, the whole process was seamless.

I first enquired about the installation of a battery and solar panels a few years ago, I finally decided to get them installed. Lee was available all through the process to answer any questions and after the install for follow up support. The whole team were polite, tidy and helpful.

Faultless and painless. From signing the contract to installation 3 weeks later was simply incredible. Lee dealt with the bureaucracy of the grid connection and outgoing tariff, and we were fully up and running by mid-July. We have since found that receiving credit from one’s energy supplier is very satisfying. Over the three-day installation, the team was professional, polite and tidy and welcomed an inquisitive eye. Importantly, and for scaffolding perhaps, unusually, it was up for the duration of the job and no longer than necessary. Lee’s advice was to keep the EV charger separate from the solar circuits and subsequent experience has proven its wisdom. On a final note, the Anker Solix X1 battery system is quite an elegant addition to the side of the house. Overall, very satisfied. Thank you, Lee, and the Eastbourne Energy Team.

Coastal homes often benefit from extra attention to fixings, cable routes, and corrosion-resistant components. We account for salt air, wind exposure, and roof access during the survey so the system is specified properly from the start.
Yes. We cover BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23, and BN24, including Meads, Old Town, Hampden Park, Langney, Roselands, Sovereign Harbour, Westham, and Pevensey. If you're just outside Eastbourne, we can usually help there too.
A typical 4kW install in Eastbourne costs £6,000–£8,000. Final price depends on roof layout, system size, and whether you add a battery. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after a survey so you know exactly what's included.
A good installer will be MCS certified, explain assumptions clearly (shading, export limits, payback), and provide aftercare. Eastbourne Energy is MCS certified, RECC approved, and we handle design, install, and handover end-to-end.
The on-roof work is usually 1–3 days. From survey to switch-on, most projects take around ~4 weeks, depending on scaffolding and DNO approval. We manage the paperwork and get monitoring set up so you can track performance straight away.
We cover Eastbourne and nearby postcodes (BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23, BN24), including Old Town, Meads, Hampden Park. If you're just outside the town boundary, ask — we're often already working nearby.
Most domestic rooftop solar in Eastbourne falls under permitted development, so planning permission is often not needed. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flats can need extra checks. We confirm the position during the survey and handle any Eastbourne Borough Council submission on your behalf.
Yes. Battery storage can help you use more of your own solar in the evening and reduce grid import. We can include a battery from day one or retrofit one later if you already have solar.
We also serve these nearby East Sussex towns with the same MCS-certified solar panel installation services.
