Solar Panels Crawley — Residential Systems For Your Home
Crawley homeowners are increasingly investing in solar to cut energy bills and get ahead of rising electricity prices, which could climb past 70p per kWh in the coming years. West Sussex enjoys around 1,800 sunshine hours a year, and every Electrotec installation meets MCS certification standards, qualifying you for the Smart Export Guarantee.
Crawley isn't just an area we cover — it's home. Electrotec Power Solutions is based right here in town, and we install across every neighbourhood, from Three Bridges, Ifield and Langley Green to Broadfield, Furnace Green, Maidenbower, Pound Hill, Tilgate, Gossops Green and Bewbush. We've completed over 2,000 installations across Sussex, Surrey and Kent, all carried out by our own in-house team — never subcontracted.
Every package includes scaffolding, bird protection, a 25-year manufacturer's warranty and free 24/7 remote monitoring via the iOS and Android app. We also offer a discount on EV charger installation when paired with solar, and a well-designed system can improve your home's EPC rating — useful whether you're selling, remortgaging or just future-proofing. From the town's original 1950s New Town semis to newer estates like Maidenbower and Bewbush, our surveyors know every roof type Crawley has to offer.

Solar Panels Crawley: Local Knowledge Matters
Did you know? Crawley was designated one of Britain's first post-war "New Towns" in 1947, built almost from scratch to house London's overspill population. Its neighbourhoods were laid out using the pioneering "Radburn" planning model, separating pedestrian footpaths from roads — a design still visible in estates like Ifield and Northgate today.
That New Town heritage means Crawley has a huge stock of similarly-built 1950s and 60s semis and terraces with consistent roof shapes, ideal for efficient solar installation, alongside newer developments such as Maidenbower, Broadfield and Bewbush. With London Gatwick Airport on the doorstep and one of the highest concentrations of homeowners in West Sussex, Crawley is one of the most solar-ready towns in our entire coverage area — and as our home town, it's where we know every street best.

How Does PV Solar Work?
Sunlight Hits the Panels
Your solar panels capture daylight, even on cloudy days, and convert it straight into DC electricity.
Powers Your Home & More
An inverter turns that DC power into usable AC electricity, running your home, charging a battery, and topping up an EV.
Surplus Sent to the Grid
Any energy you don't use is exported safely to the grid under G98 approval or stays stored on-site if you've gone battery-first.
How Much You Could Save
A residential solar system generating 1kWp produces around 850–950kWh a year in the South East.
Adding battery storage means you use more of that energy yourself, instead of exporting it back to the grid.

Residential Solar FAQs
Everything you need to know before switching your home to solar.
What's the difference between the package tiers?
Bronze covers panels only. Silver and Gold add battery storage (FoxESS) so you can use stored energy in the evening. These are a starting point; a free site survey gives you an accurate, tailored proposal.
Will this actually cover my electricity usage, or just offset some of it?
A well-sized system can generate more than you use on a good day, with surplus exported via the Smart Export Guarantee for a payment back. On cloudier days you'll still generate, just less. Most homeowners see a significant reduction in their bills, and adding a battery closes more of that gap.
Is that price the full cost, or are there extras?
The price you receive following your site survey is the complete price. Scaffolding, bird protection, and installation are all included, with no hidden extras.
Will this affect my home insurance or mortgage?
Let your insurer know once installed; most add it to your policy at little or no extra cost. Some mortgage lenders like to be informed too, though it's rarely an issue. We provide the documentation you'll need for either.
Will it work on my roof type, angle, or shading?
Every roof is different. Our free site survey assesses suitability, orientation, and shading so we can size and position your system for the best performance.
Do I need planning permission?
In most cases, no. Solar installations fall under permitted development, with exceptions for listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat roofs. We'll flag it during your survey if it applies.
What happens if something breaks, who do I call?
Us. Panels carry a 25-year manufacturer's warranty, inverters and battery storage a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, and our installation a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Can I add a battery or EV charger later if I don't get one now?
Yes, it can be added later, though it's more cost-effective as part of a combined package from the start.
