Design · Primary reason

A system that fits your roof

We’ll assess shading from mature trees (common in the High Weald), roof condition, and inverter location carefully. Farmhouses, barn conversions, and oast houses in and around Heathfield often have unique layouts — we design around them rather than forcing a standard template.

An install you can trust

Battery storage is a common add-on for rural Heathfield households to reduce grid reliance — especially those on oil or LPG heating who want to pair solar with a heat pump in the future.

Aftercare & monitoring

We’ll explain payback and savings assumptions clearly, so expectations match reality. Many properties around Cross in Hand and Waldron have larger-than-average roof areas, which can support bigger systems with faster payback.
