Solar capacity in Brighton and the surrounding area has been moving forward apace. It’s become a popular way for businesses and residents to get cheap, green electric. And – more importantly – all this great work helps the city become ever more energy resilient.
See details below – and help us build more by supporting Brighton Energy Coop’s new solar project in Eastbourne.
The giant array at Parker Steel’s facility at Shoreham Port adds a further 1.8MW, followed by the 1.5MW of Brighton Energy Coop’s various installations across the city (the largest also at Shoreham Port).
The University of Brighton is the fifth largest solar installer with solar sites at their Falmer campus and the Cockcroft Building.
There’s still plenty of opportunity for solar in Brighton: just 1.23% of homes have solar on them, below the national average. You can support more solar PV by joining Brighton Energy Coop and helping us develop more solar in our area and by sharing this post here.
