Solar panels in Burgess Hill
Nineteen road miles north-east of the workshop, Burgess Hill is a Mid Sussex town we reach along the A24 and A272 for solar, battery and electrical work — and the one where the local council’s own energy targets are most clearly written down.
What we find on Burgess Hill roofs
Estate layouts set the orientation here, not the sun, so the survey usually turns on which slope earns its keep and whether an east–west split beats a single face. The battery wall and the garage are the second conversation.
Distance, geography, housing stock and the planning position all change how a system gets designed. These are the ones that decide it in Burgess Hill.
What we take into account here
- Approximately 19 road miles north-east of Washington via the A24 and A272, a little under half an hour outside the school run.
- Mid Sussex District Council voted on 2 November 2022 to take its own operations to net zero by 2040 and to support the district reaching the national 2050 target; its progress page records PV on council buildings generating around 27,000 kWh a year.
- The same council page points to the Warmer Homes scheme, government funding for energy-efficiency measures in eligible households — worth checking before a system is sized, because a better-insulated house needs less of everything.
- A built-up-area population of 33,352 at the 2021 Census, one of the larger towns we serve, reported by the council and the ONS across six wards: Dunstall, Franklands, Leylands, Meeds & Hammonds, St Andrews and Victoria.
- The distribution network here is UK Power Networks (grid supply point group J), who receive the G98 or G99 notification for any inverter we fit; the MPAN on your bill confirms it.
- Solar, battery storage, EV charging, air conditioning and general electrical work all reach Burgess Hill from Washington, with the same electricians doing the certification.
- Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint, a few miles south on the B2116, are covered from this page.
Questions we get asked in Burgess Hill
Do you cover Burgess Hill for solar panels, or only the coast?
Yes. Burgess Hill is about nineteen road miles from our Washington base via the A24 and A272, and we survey, install and certificate there as we do anywhere in West Sussex. The same team does the electrical work, so a consumer-unit change and a solar install can be one visit.
Who is the electricity network operator in Burgess Hill, and does that matter?
UK Power Networks. It matters because every inverter has to be notified to them: up to 16 amps per phase, which is 3.68 kW, is a G98 notification; anything larger needs a G99 application approved before the system is switched on. We handle both and you get the acknowledgement for your records.
Also covered from here
Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint are covered from this page rather than having pages of their own — the same vans and the same survey.

The systems that suit Burgess Hill
Three arrangements cover most of what goes on a West Sussex roof. Which one your house wants is decided at the survey, on the roof itself — not from a satellite image.
Our own photographs. They show the systems we design and fit — not specific completed jobs in Burgess Hill, and no customer or address is identified.
The same certifications, whichever end of the patch you are on.

If solar genuinely won’t pay for itself on your usage, we’ll say so and save us both an afternoon.
Rather see the numbers before you speak to anybody? Put your own bill on the house — it works out the size, the saving and the payback while you watch, and brings them down to this form with you.
