Sussex Solar
We design, install and maintain Solar PV, Solar thermal, and Heat pump systems across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire. We provide preventative maintenance, servicing and repairs for most types of renewable technology. A family run business with over 35 years engineering experience, installing renewables since 2005.
Services
We are a family-owned renewable energy company based in Horsham, West Sussex. We install and maintain solar PV, air source heat pumps and solar thermal systems in Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire. We carry out all our own installations and we never subcontract our work to third-party installers. At Sussex Solar we have a reputation for skillful work, using quality components on all our installations.
Sussex Solar have been installing renewable energy systems since 2005. We have experience and approvals for a range of technologies from a number of manufacturers. When you are considering renewable energy for your home or business make sure you talk with someone who understands all the technologies and can see the whole picture.
Since 2010 solar PV has become the preferred renewable technology to install, thanks to the government's Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) scheme, exceptional reliability and minimal cost-of-ownership. Although FIT payments have been reduced, it still makes sense if you can use all or most the electricity you generate, rather than export it back to the grid.
Sussex Solar is a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer, which means we now offer a solar PV and battery solution that enables you to access the free, abundant power of the sun and reduces your reliance on fossil fuels. You can now also access the Tesla Energy Plan from Octopus Energy and benefit from an energy tariff as low as 8 pence per kWh 24/7.
Heat pumps take energy from the air or ground and transfer it into water circulating through your heating system. The running costs for a well designed and specified heat pump should be comparable to operating a natural gas boiler. The government's RHI scheme pays you several thousand pounds over seven years to offset the installation cost.

They were very polite on the phone when I called but disappointed to hear that they won't install just the Tesla Powerwall. You have to buy as part of a package along with the actual panels. I already have the panels and just look for someone to install the energy storage.

We chose Sussex Solar to install a new energy system to replace our gas boiler, comprising 20 PV roof panels capable of generating 6.2 kW, a Tesla 13.5 kWh battery and a Mitsubishi Ecodan 11.4 kW heat pump.
From site survey to final installation Sussex Solar have proved expert and highly professional and as a family business easy to work with and with good prices for both equipment and service.
The performance has astonished us. From the final installation on 18 March 2021 to date we have enjoyed zero energy bills and earned £240 in electricity exported to the grid. Our energy supplier is Octopus

The installation was a very smooth process from start to finish. Sussex Solar maintained the highest level of personal service throughout. First impressions inspired confidence and everyone we dealt with was courteous and knowledgeable.
The works were completed on schedule and the budget adhered to. Everyone on site was as courteous and pleasant as the office staff, and the work was carried out professionally and with minimum disturbance.
As regards after care we received all the relevant paperwork surprisingly quickly. To date all is functioning extremely well.
Sussex Solar are highly professional

From the first site visit to final installation Sussex Solar did everything as promised. A real quality job and fairly priced. Nice, honest, flexible people to do business with. Their scaffolding contractors were polite too. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I've waited a year to post this review, deliberately as I wanted to see how it performed during different seasons.
Its exceeded my expectations.
I did quite a lot of research before settling on Sussex Solar. Amanda and Andy were great at answering all my nerdy questions, and very patient when I deferred the project a year (mistake).
I had a 4.5kw system installed along with the Tesla Powerwall 2 in March 2020, just as COVID hit. The installation was shortly after having some air conditioning fitted.
In service the system is invisible.
Due to higher consumption during lockdown, and the air

We are very pleased with our installation of both PV panels with Tesla powerwall and a Solar Thermal system. The team were very efficient and completed the installation within the agreed time. Andy was excellent in both explaining the system in advance and advising on location of the equipment as well as ensuring we understood how it all worked before he left site. We would thoroughly recommend both Sussex Solar and the products they install ... we're loving the Tesla app showing us how much energy we are generating and how it is being used. Thank you.

Our solar panels were installed about nine years ago and we have been very pleased with them, but the company that installed them is no longer trading in our area (Horsham, Sussex). A few years after it was installed, the system developed a fault, so I contacted Sussex Solar to see if they could help. I found them very competent, friendly and professional. They diagnosed the problem and did an excellent job in rectifying the issue. Recently (July 2020), we had another problem with the system, so went straight to them again, as we had been very pleased with their work on the previous occasion. They

We had an air source heat pump installed seven years ago, and have been delighted with it. The company that installed it, and the panels, no longer service this area, but I was fortunate enough to find Sussex Solar in my area.
They came to service the system in 2019 and I took out a contract with them so that they would come out if there were any problems. They have just done another service, taking great care because of the current lock-down. Dom and Fraser needed access into the loft, but the light was not working. They had torches but offered to clamber across the loft to fit another bulb for

Sussex Solar has recently completed the installation of solar panels and a Powerwall system at our house, and has been excellent from start to finish. Its initial advice was very informative helping us understand what was involved, and the survey further developed our knowledge and confidence to go ahead. Andy and his team were great during installation, and on completion spent time ensuring we were completely satisfied with the system and how it operates. We did talk to other companies, but Sussex Solar stood out in terms of service, and we are delighted we went with them.

Sussex Solar completed installing PV solar panels for us last week, and we are extremely pleased with the whole process from the initial consultation to the final testing. They are a small Horsham family company, very efficient, very friendly and very competent. We have no hesitation recommending them to anyone else wishing to install renewable energy systems.
