Solar Panel Installation in Kent

Harnessing the Garden of England's exceptional sunshine for homeowners across Kent

Why solar works in Kent

Known as the Garden of England, Kent enjoys some of the highest sunshine levels anywhere in the United Kingdom. With approximately 1,600 hours of sunshine per year, the county consistently ranks among the best locations for solar energy generation. From the white cliffs of Dover to the orchards of the Weald, Kent's geography offers excellent south-facing aspects and open skies that are ideal for photovoltaic panels.

Kent's housing stock is wonderfully varied. The county is home to distinctive oast houses and converted farmhouses in the rural interior, period coastal properties along the Channel coast, and large new-build developments in towns like Ashford and Ebbsfleet. Each property type presents its own opportunities for solar. Oast house roundels, for instance, can accommodate curved mounting systems, whilst the generous roof areas of modern Kent new-builds are often designed with solar in mind from the outset.

Lunar Solar serves the whole of Kent, from Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells in the west to Canterbury, Thanet, and the coastal towns in the east. Our local knowledge means we understand the salt-air considerations for coastal installations, the heritage constraints in towns like Faversham and Tenterden, and the building regulations that apply to new developments. We pair every installation with a battery storage option so you can store daytime generation for evening use.
