West Sussex
Solar across West Sussex
West Sussex enjoys some of the highest solar yields in the United Kingdom. The coastal strip from Bognor Regis through Worthing to Shoreham is consistently top-quintile for annual sunshine hours, and inland market towns like Horsham, Crawley and Haywards Heath sit in a sweet spot of high property values and strong residential demand. For most West Sussex homeowners the question is no longer 'should I get solar?' but 'how big a system can my roof take?'.
Why now
Why solar makes sense in West Sussex
-
West Sussex coastal towns record around 1,750-1,900 sunshine hours per year — well above the UK average of ~1,400 hours.
-
A standard 4 kW array in West Sussex typically generates 4,000-4,400 kWh per year.
-
Annual savings of £950-£1,500 are realistic on most West Sussex homes once self-consumption and export are combined.
-
Many West Sussex new-builds (Kilnwood Vale, Buckshead Park, Berkeley Homes developments) are already pre-wired for solar.
West Sussex market notes
West Sussex has been a hotspot for community-energy schemes (RepowerBalcombe, Ouse Valley Energy) which has lifted public awareness. Battery attach rates here are well above 70% — most homeowners install solar and storage together.
Typical property mix
Coastal districts (Arun, Worthing, Adur) skew strongly toward bungalows and semi-detached homes. Inland, larger detached properties dominate the Mid-Sussex commuter belt. Conservation areas in Chichester, Arundel, Steyning and Petworth require sympathetic design.
Grants, VAT & export
0% VAT and the Smart Export Guarantee both apply. Several West Sussex councils (Adur, Worthing) have promoted Solar Together group-buying schemes — we can quote against their pricing if you'd like a direct comparison.

FAQs
Common West Sussex solar questions
Is West Sussex a good area for solar panels?
West Sussex is one of the top three counties in the UK for solar yield. Coastal districts especially benefit from very high sunshine hours, and inland yields are still well above the UK average.
Do I need permission for solar in a West Sussex conservation area?
Yes — planning consent is required in conservation areas and on listed buildings. Our installers handle the application; turnaround is usually 6-10 weeks.
Will solar work on a Worthing bungalow?
Bungalows are amongst the best candidates in West Sussex. The single large pitched roof typically accommodates 6-10 kWp without overshading concerns from chimneys or dormers.
How does West Sussex performance compare with Yorkshire or Scotland?
A West Sussex 4 kWp system out-generates an equivalent Yorkshire array by 12-15% and a central-belt Scottish array by 20-25% over the year.
