Havant is perfectly positioned for solar energy. Located on the sunny South Coast, homes in Havant, Leigh Park, and Bedhampton receive some of the highest solar irradiance levels in the UK. However, installing solar here requires specific local knowledge.
Unlike national call centers that use generic kits, Starks Solar understands the unique challenges of the PO9 area. From the salt-laden air near Langstone Harbour requiring corrosion-resistant panels, to the seagull populations that necessitate robust bird proofing, we design systems built to last.
We are a family-run business, not a sales agency. Our in-house team of electricians handles everything from the initial design to the final MCS certificate.
- Local Knowledge: We understand Havant Borough planning rules.
- Coastal Ready: We use equipment tested for salt-mist corrosion.
- Bird Proofing Included: Essential for homes near the coast.

Maximizing Solar Potential in PO9
Why Havant is one of the best locations in the UK for renewable energy.
Harnessing the South Coast Sun
Havant benefits from a microclimate common to the Solent region, often seeing clearer skies than areas further inland behind the South Downs. This means a standard 4kW solar system in Havant can often outperform a similar system in the Midlands or the North by up to 15% annually. By capturing this energy, you reduce your reliance on the National Grid and protect yourself from rising energy caps.
The "Seagull Factor" in Havant
Residents in Langstone and Warblington know that seagulls are a part of life. Unfortunately, solar panels can provide a warm, sheltered spot for nesting. Nests can cause heat buildup (hotspots) which damage panels and reduce efficiency.
At Starks Solar, we view bird proofing as mandatory, not optional, for our coastal installs. We install a high-quality, UV-stable mesh around the perimeter of your array. This stops birds from getting underneath without harming them, ensuring your system maintains peak airflow and efficiency for decades.
Planning Permission in Havant Borough
We are frequently asked about planning permission in the Havant area. For the vast majority of residential properties in Bedhampton, Leigh Park, and Havant town, solar panels are Permitted Development. This means you do not need to apply for full planning permission, provided the panels do not protrude more than 200mm from the roof slope.
However, if your property is in a designated Conservation Area (such as parts of Emsworth or Old Bedhampton) or is a Listed Building, restrictions apply. Our team assists with all necessary applications to Havant Borough Council to ensure your installation is fully compliant.
Battery Storage in Havant
Solar panels are only half the solution. To truly reduce your bills in Havant, you need to store the energy you generate. Many Havant commuters are out during the peak sun hours—without a battery, you are sending free energy back to the grid for pennies, only to buy it back at night for pounds.
Energy Independence for Bedhampton & Leigh Park
We install the latest Sigenergy and GivEnergy storage systems. These AI-driven batteries allow you to store free solar power during the day and use it in the evening when you get home. Furthermore, with intelligent tariffs (like Octopus Agile), you can charge your battery from the grid during the winter months when rates are as low as 7p/kWh, and discharge it when rates hit 30p+.
- Backup Power: Keep your lights, WiFi, and freezer running during power cuts.
- Smart Charging: Automate your savings with AI-assisted software.
- Retrofit Available: Already have solar? We can add a battery to your existing system.
