Design · Primary reason ### A system that fits your roof 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. ### An install you can trust 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. ### Aftercare & monitoring 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. ### Solar panel installers in Eastbourne We are based in Eastbourne, so nearly every job on this page is close by. We have three Eastbourne projects published here. They run from 10 panels at 4.6 kWp up to 18 panels at 8.46 kWp. kWp is the size of the array. We use JA Solar, Aiko or Jinko panels, depending on the roof. All three homes have battery storage. Christine in BN20 said we handled the planning application, arranged the scaffolding and booked the installation. It took a day and a half. We sorted the certification and the set up with her energy supplier. Andy in BN22 said the survey was proper and thorough. He said we looked at his property layout before showing any options. Dawn in BN20 said the work was done within the times we quoted. Roofs vary a lot from BN20 to BN24\. There are Victorian terraces near the seafront, newer houses off Kings Drive and larger detached homes in Ratton and Westham. So we decide the design at the survey, not on the phone. ### What you get159+around Eastbourne - Design matched to your usage - Battery-ready design (optional now or later) - Scaffolding arranged where needed - DNO application + MCS certificate - Monitoring setup + clear handover - Tidy install and respectful on-site work - Straightforward aftercare Want typical costs first? [Jump to pricing](#pricing). ### Working in Eastbourne 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. #### Planning for solar in Eastbourne The government's planning data service lists Eastbourne Borough Council as the local planning authority for Eastbourne. Most solar panels on a house are permitted development, so no planning application is needed. The rules are in Class A, Part 14, Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order. Panels must not stick out more than 0.2 metres from the roof slope. They must not sit higher than the highest part of the roof, not counting the chimney. They must be placed so their effect on the look of the building and the area is as small as possible. Class A does not apply at all if your home is a listed building. In a conservation area you cannot put panels on a wall, balcony or roof enclosure that fronts a highway. For a flat roof array in a conservation area you must first ask the council whether its prior approval is needed for how the panels will look, before work starts. Part of Eastbourne is inside the South Downs National Park. Where a home is inside it, the National Park Authority is the planning authority, not the borough council. The Authority publishes a conservation area map for Meads. We confirm the position at survey and handle the submission.

Where a property is inside it, the South Downs National Park Authority is the planning authority, not the district or borough council. Its Planning Committee is the statutory planning authority for the Park. The Authority says the General Permitted Development Order still allows microgeneration on homes, including solar panels, where the conditions in Part 14 are met. Its own advice note says sensitively designed roof top solar is likely to be suitable in most areas, and that making use of existing roof space is strongly encouraged. It also says several Part 14 rights do not apply to listed buildings or to land and buildings in their grounds, that there are restrictions relating to conservation areas, and that anyone affected should get tailored advice. A National Park counts as article 2(3) land, so for a flat roof array you must first ask the Authority whether its prior approval is needed for how the panels will look, before work starts.

You use it in the evening for cooking, washing and lights. Without one, the spare power goes to the grid. You then buy power back from the grid, and that usually costs more than you were paid for the export. If your tariff has cheap overnight power, the battery can charge on that too. We have three Eastbourne systems published below. Each one has the battery named on its own case study, not a standard unit. Two homes took the bigger battery and one took a smaller one. They use power in different ways. Aaron in BN21 asked us about panels and a battery a few years before he went ahead. That is a sensible way to do it. Every published Eastbourne case study below was installed with battery storage. Models installed on those projects: Anker SOLIX X1-B5-H, Fox ESS EP6 Plus. - [15-Panel Solar Installation in Eastbourne15 panels · 7.12 kWp · Anker SOLIX X1-B5-H · 10 kWhView project](https://eastbourne.energy/our-work/15-panel-solar-installation-eastbourne) - [10-Panel Solar Installation in Eastbourne10 panels · 4.6 kWp · Fox ESS EP6 Plus · 5.76 kWhView project](https://eastbourne.energy/our-work/10-panel-solar-installation-eastbourne) - [18-Panel Solar Installation in Eastbourne18 panels · 8.46 kWp · Anker SOLIX X1-B5-H · 10 kWhView project](https://eastbourne.energy/our-work/18-panel-solar-installation-eastbourne) Sizing, tariffs and how storage works alongside solar are covered on our [battery storage](https://eastbourne.energy/services/battery-storage) page. Real customer feedback ## Solar & battery Eastbourne — reviews Verified Google reviews from homeowners we've helped across East Sussex.

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. Christine Whitehouse 31 Mar 2026 Google review 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. Aaron Bradford 12 Jan 2026 Google review 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. kitbentham 4 Dec 2025 Google review [Read all 111 reviews on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Eastbourne%20Energy&query%5Fplace%5Fid=ChIJ8XKoXa4R30cReAd47LUYwZQ) ## Solar & Battery Questions – Eastbourne ### Quick Answers About Solar Panels & Battery Storage in Eastbourne Straight answers to the questions homeowners in Eastbourne ask us most before they book a survey. Do seafront homes in Eastbourne need anything different for solar panels? 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. Do you install solar panels across all Eastbourne postcodes? 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. Have you installed solar panels in Eastbourne? Yes. The published Eastbourne case studies on this page include a 15-panel, 7.12 kWp system with battery storage, a 10-panel, 4.6 kWp system with battery storage and a 18-panel, 8.46 kWp system with battery storage — open one in the projects section above to see the system details and the photographs the customer approved. Our project records show 159+ completed installations in and around Eastbourne. We cover Eastbourne from our base in Eastbourne, across BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23, BN24, including Old Town, Meads, Hampden Park. Do you fit battery storage in Eastbourne? Yes — every one of the 3 published Eastbourne case studies on this page was installed with battery storage. The published systems use Anker SOLIX X1-B5-H and Fox ESS EP6 Plus. Whether a battery is worth it for you depends on how much of your generation you would otherwise export, so we model that before quoting. Our battery storage service page covers sizing and how storage works alongside solar. Which council handles planning for solar in Eastbourne? Eastbourne Borough Council is the local planning authority for Eastbourne. Most domestic rooftop solar is permitted development, so an application is often not needed at all; listed buildings, conservation areas and some flats need extra checks. We confirm which applies during the survey and handle any Eastbourne Borough Council submission on your behalf. How much do solar panels in Eastbourne cost? A typical 4kW solar-only install in Eastbourne costs £6,000–£8,000, and battery storage is from £1,750 for a 5 kWh battery, with larger batteries priced at survey. 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. Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Eastbourne? 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. How long does solar panel installation take in Eastbourne? 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.
