Harnessing the South Coast sunshine for homes across East and West Sussex
Sussex enjoys some of the best solar conditions in the United Kingdom. Stretching along the South Coast from Chichester in the west to Hastings in the east, both East and West Sussex benefit from high sunshine levels, south-facing coastal aspects, and a housing stock that suits solar installation. Over 4,100 Sussex homes already have solar panels, making it one of the strongest solar adoption regions in the South East.
The county’s property mix ranges from the Regency townhouses of Brighton and Hove to the country homes of the High Weald, the seaside bungalows of Worthing and Bognor Regis, and the modern estates of Crawley and Burgess Hill. Coastal properties are particularly well positioned for solar — south-facing elevations with unobstructed sea views mean maximum sun exposure. Bungalows, common across Sussex’s coastal towns, are ideal candidates with their large, accessible roof areas and typically lower energy demands.
Lunar Solar has installed across both counties, from the chalk downlands of Lewes to the harbourside properties of Shoreham and the rural farmhouses of the Weald. We understand the specific challenges of South Coast installations — salt-air corrosion protection for coastal properties, heritage considerations in towns like Arundel and Rye, and the structural requirements of older Sussex flint buildings. Every system we install uses marine-grade fixings where needed and is designed to maximise the exceptional sunshine this coastline receives.
The South Coast receives some of the highest solar irradiance in the UK, with coastal Sussex outperforming many inland areas.
Over 4,100 Sussex homes already have solar panels, with strong adoption across Brighton, Worthing, and Eastbourne.
We use marine-grade fixings and salt-resistant components for properties along the Sussex coastline.
