How much does commercial solar cost in Crawley?
Indicative pricing for Crawley commercial sites sits at around £700–£900 per kWp installed above 100 kWp, with 4–6 year payback typical for Manor Royal and Gatwick supply-chain sites with strong daytime load.
Is solar a fit for Manor Royal occupiers?
Yes - Manor Royal carries one of the densest concentrations of modern commercial roofs in the South East. Most Manor Royal units are textbook rooftop-solar candidates with 4–6 year payback under typical operating conditions.
Does Gatwick airport-safeguarding affect rooftop solar?
Gatwick safeguarding requires glare-assessment for rooftop solar on certain rooflines under the approach corridor. This is a standard part of our feasibility for Manor Royal and Gatwick-adjacent sites and rarely blocks an install.
Do Crawley businesses need planning permission for rooftop solar?
Most commercial rooftop solar in Crawley is permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and arrays above 1 MW typically need planning consent; Gatwick safeguarding adds glare-assessment as noted above.
Which South East areas do you cover?
Crawley, Gatwick, Horsham, Horley, Reigate, East Grinstead, Brighton, Worthing and the wider M23/M25 commercial belt.
