Battle Solar Town

05/02/2026

Thank you to everyone who came to our recent Open Solar Home event. You asked lots of great questions, and there was a great discussion about the pros and cons of batteries.

Battle resident Sue shared her experiences of living with solar panels, while experts Chris from Energise Sussex Coast and Nicola from Complete Solar Renewables were there to answer your
technical questions.

We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We're already looking forward to the next Open Solar Home event.

Great news that the government has announced that they will be providing £15bn to households, for solar and green tech as part of their Warm Homes Plan.

Dale Vince, CEO of energy company Ecotricity, praised the new funding for solar - "Solar panels give us the biggest bang for buck there is no doubt about that - cheapest to install and most productive in terms of bringing down energy bills."

The government has announced the details of its long-awaited Warm Homes Plan which promises to cut energy bills.

Proves that a solar town is possible. Great news that developers are thinking about the future.

Otterpool Park’s 8,500 homes will run on solar power and batteries – with enough renewable energy to help keep lights on elsewhere

Thank you to everyone who attended our public information event about solar panels at the Memorial Hall on 10th July.
A good crowd of local householders attended, and some got an on-the-spot assessment of the solar potential of their homes.
The evening also provide an opportunity for the ‘solar curious’ to chat to people who already have solar panels, and to raise questions or concerns.
We hope to put some of the slide show presentations onto our website soon-ish (https://www.battlesolartown.uk/)
