Why install solar panels with LGS Plumbing & Heating

From site survey to final commissioning, our certified engineers handle your solar PV installation from start to finish with great pride given to our aftersales support.
  • MCS certified installations

    Every solar PV system we install is completed to MCS and TrustMark standards — the industry accreditations that confirm your installation meets rigorous technical and consumer protection requirements.
  • Smart Export Guarantee eligible

    Because we are MCS certified, your system qualifies for the Smart Export Guarantee, allowing you to earn money by selling surplus electricity back to the grid.
  • 2-year labour guarantee

    All LGS installations are backed by a two-year labour guarantee and £2 million public liability insurance covering every stage of your project — plus a manufacturer warranty of up to [X] years on the panels themselves, so you're covered for decades, not just the install.
    Solar PV for Brighton & Hove homes

    A properly sized solar system for your property

    A typical 4.5kWp residential solar PV system uses around 12 panels and covers 20 to 30m² of roof space. South-facing roofs deliver the highest output, though east and west-facing roofs still generate useful electricity. LGS carries out a full site survey before any work begins, so your system is sized to your actual energy use, not a generic template

    Reduce bills and earn from surplus energy

    What you can save with solar panels in Sussex

    A 4kW solar panel system costs in the region of £6,600 to £8,100 installed and can save around £1,304 per year on electricity bills, with many homeowners breaking even within six years. Adding battery storage can reduce your grid electricity use by as much as 70%. LGS will provide a fixed quote, not an estimate, so there are no surprises on installation day.

    Accredited, insured and locally trusted

    The credentials behind every LGS solar installation

    LGS Plumbing & Heating holds MCS certification and RECC membership, and is registered with Gas Safe, TrustMark, Which Trusted Trader and Checkatrade. As an approved installer working across Brighton, Hove, Lewes, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Crawley, Horsham and East Grinstead, we bring the same standards to every solar PV job, regardless of property size or complexity.

    Solar panels paired with battery storage

    Store the electricity your panels generate

    Solar PV paired with a battery storage system lets you use the electricity your panels generate after dark, rather than exporting it for a fraction of the retail rate. Battery storage typically costs £4,000 to £8,000 depending on capacity and brand. LGS can advise on the right combination for your property and energy usage during your initial consultation.
