Are Brighton's seafront and conservation areas suitable for solar?
Central Brighton has extensive conservation areas where rooftop solar requires careful planning consent - particularly Regency seafront properties. Modern commercial buildings in Hove, Portslade and on the city edges are typically straightforward.
How does solar help landlords meet MEES?
Rooftop solar can lift a commercial EPC by a meaningful margin, helping non-domestic landlords meet the MEES E rating (with B by 2030 proposed). This is increasingly a primary driver for Brighton commercial property investment decisions.
