How Burgess Hill compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Burgess Hill is one of 33 Sussex towns we track, and it ranks 25th of 33 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 35,279 residents, and its roofs see 3.05 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 7,079 kWh of generation, of which around 6,142 kWh is exported at 12p for £737 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Burgess Hill's own yield.
Any planning application in Burgess Hill sits with Mid Sussex, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium town.
The charger is in the installed price but left out of payback: charging savings depend on your mileage and tariff, which the design call models properly.

The network operator for Burgess Hill
On NESO's licence-area map, Burgess Hill is in South East England, which UK Power Networks operates. That makes UK Power Networks the network operator for any system fitted here.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to UK Power Networks within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds UK Power Networks as it does every network operator.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Burgess Hill
A heat pump in Burgess Hill
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Burgess Hill make about 250 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Burgess Hill comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Burgess Hill
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Burgess Hill make about 880 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
The calculator above includes a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed. Renters and flat owners with off-street parking can claim 75% of a chargepoint's cost, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).

Solar panel servicing and repair in Burgess Hill
If a system in Burgess Hill is underperforming, start with the guides below: repair benchmarks, service scope, and the inverter question.
Solar in Burgess Hill: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Burgess Hill?
Burgess Hill averages 3.05 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,113 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 7,080 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
What does a typical solar system cost in Burgess Hill?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Burgess Hill, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 7,080 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Who is the network operator in Burgess Hill, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is UK Power Networks. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds UK Power Networks as it does every network operator. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Burgess Hill?
Around £737 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 6,142 kWh a 12-panel system in Burgess Hill exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How does solar perform in Burgess Hill in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Burgess Hill: about 250 kWh from 12 panels, against 880 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Burgess Hill compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Burgess Hill.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Burgess Hill |
|---|---|---|
| Burgess Hill | 1,113 | this town |
| Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint | 1,134 | +21 kWh |
| Haywards Heath | 1,088 | −25 kWh |
| Brighton and Hove | 1,159 | +46 kWh |
| Lewes | 1,177 | +64 kWh |
| Southwick | 1,146 | +33 kWh |
| Uckfield | 1,120 | +7 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
