Solar panel installation in Brighton

Brighton and Hove's Regency squares and crescents — the sweeping terraces around Kemp Town, Brunswick Town and the seafront — are some of the most architecturally significant in England, and large parts of the city carry conservation area or listed status as a result. That's the first thing we check on any Brighton survey, well before discussing system size.

Rear roof planes on Regency terraces, hidden from the street-facing facade, are usually the realistic route to an install where a front-facing array would need planning consent the council is unlikely to grant on a listed building. We're upfront about which applies to your specific property rather than assuming either way.

Away from the Regency core, the housing opens up considerably — 1930s semis and postwar estates through Woodingdean, Patcham and Portslade have far more design flexibility. Brighton's hilly setting on the edge of the South Downs also means orientation genuinely varies street to street, another reason a proper survey matters here.

UK Power Networks runs the electricity network across Brighton and the wider Sussex coast, and we handle the DNO notification and commissioning paperwork directly as part of the install.
