Solar panels in Chichester
Chichester is where our telephone number lives — 01243 is the city’s own dialling code — and it is a city where the roof usually has an opinion about the array.
What we find on Chichester roofs
Inside the city walls, expect a planning conversation. Outside them, Chichester’s modern estates are some of the most straightforward roofs in the county.
Distance, geography, housing stock and the planning position all change how a system gets designed. These are the ones that decide it in Chichester.
What we take into account here
- Approximately 21 road miles west of Washington, largely on the A27.
- Solar Squirrel’s published telephone number, 01243 882444, is a Chichester (01243) number — the area code covering the city and the Manhood peninsula.
- A cathedral city on the coastal plain, with Chichester Harbour — a National Landscape — immediately to the south west.
- A conservation area covers the historic core inside the Roman street plan, alongside a high density of listed buildings; roof works there are a consent conversation before they are a design one.
- Georgian and earlier frontages in the centre give way to substantial post-war and modern detached stock in the surrounding villages — the second of which is where most of the good solar roofs actually are.
- The West Sussex coastal plain is flat and open, so shading tends to come from mature trees and neighbouring roofs rather than terrain.
- Solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, system design and general electrical work all covered from Washington.

Bognor Regis is covered from this page rather than having one of its own — the same vans and the same survey.
The systems that suit Chichester
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 Chichester, and no customer or address is identified.
The same certifications, whichever end of the patch you are on.

Thirty to forty-five minutes, at your house, at no cost. We look at the roof, the fuse board and how you actually use the place — then send you a clear quote with the assumptions shown.

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.
