Enter your postcode and pick your address Find your address Find Or enter your address manually below. BackNext Blackpool is one of the best locations in the entire North West for solar energy. Its position on the Lancashire coast — exposed to the open sky of the Irish Sea rather than inland cloud — gives Blackpool measurably higher solar irradiance than most English cities. For homeowners and the town's large hospitality and B&B sector, solar panels with [battery storage](/services/battery-storage) represent some of the strongest economics in the region. ## How much solar energy does Blackpool get? Blackpool sees approximately **1,430 sun hours per year** — among the highest figures in the North West and comfortably above the UK average. On clear days the coastal aspect provides extended morning and afternoon generation compared to inland locations. A south or south-west facing 4kW system in Blackpool generates approximately **3,600–4,000 kWh per year**. System size Typical output (Blackpool) Annual bill saving Approx. payback 4 kWp 3,600–4,000 kWh £980–£1,200 6–8 years 6 kWp 5,400–6,000 kWh £1,450–£1,750 6–8 years 6 kWp + battery 5,400–6,000 kWh £1,850–£2,250 5–7 years _Savings based on 28p/kWh unit rate and 5.5p SEG export tariff (2026 figures)._ ## What does solar cost in Blackpool? Installation costs in the Blackpool and Fylde Coast area are broadly in line with the Lancashire average. Based on MCS data: - **4kW system (3-bed semi):** £5,500–£8,000 installed - **6kW system (4-bed detached):** £7,500–£11,000 installed - **Battery storage add-on:** £2,500–£5,000 All Alliant Energy quotes are free, no-obligation and returned within 24 hours. ## Domestic solar in Blackpool Blackpool's residential housing includes a significant proportion of inter-war semis and detached properties across St Annes, Lytham and Poulton-le-Fylde, as well as converted Victorian terraces and flats in the town centre. Properties with unshaded south or west-facing roof pitches — common across the inland residential zones — are particularly well-suited to solar. **Inter-war and post-war semis** in Marton, Mereside and Bispham are among the most productive properties for solar in the FY postcode area, with large roof footprints and good orientation. **Fylde Coast villages** including Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton-Cleveleys have a higher proportion of detached homes, often accommodating 5–6kW+ systems with excellent annual yields. [Get a home quote →](/quote) ## Solar for Blackpool guest houses and B&Bs Blackpool's hospitality sector is one of the largest in the UK outside London, with thousands of guest houses, B&Bs, small hotels and self-catering properties clustered in FY1, FY2 and FY4. This sector has a compelling case for [commercial solar](/services/commercial-solar): - High daytime electricity consumption (laundry, catering, heating) aligns well with solar generation hours - Guest houses typically run high annual electricity bills — £8,000–£30,000+ — where solar can cut costs by 30–60% - Season peaks in summer align with peak solar generation - **PPA financing** allows zero-upfront installation, with savings from day one Even a 10kWp system on a medium-sized guest house typically saves £2,500–£4,000 per year on electricity costs. [Get a commercial quote →](/quote) ## Government grants for solar in Blackpool Blackpool has areas of significant economic deprivation and higher-than-average proportions of households eligible for energy efficiency grants. **[Warm Homes Plan](/guides/what-is-the-warm-homes-plan):** Qualifying households in Blackpool can access free solar panel and battery installations worth up to £12,000+. Many properties in central Blackpool postcodes (FY1, FY3) have EPC ratings of D or below and may qualify. **[Smart Export Guarantee](/guides/smart-export-guarantee-how-much-can-you-earn):** With Blackpool's above-average generation, SEG income for a 4kW system typically reaches £250–£550/year depending on your chosen tariff provider. **Lancashire County Council Energy Support:** Additional local support programmes exist for fuel-poor households across Lancashire — we flag all relevant schemes during the quote process. [Check my eligibility →](/solar-panel-grants) ## Postcodes and areas we cover in Blackpool We install across the Fylde Coast and all FY postcodes: **Blackpool:** FY1, FY2, FY3, FY4 (North Shore, South Shore, Marton, Layton, Bispham) **Lytham St Annes:** FY8 **Poulton-le-Fylde:** FY6 **Thornton-Cleveleys:** FY5 **Fleetwood:** FY7 ## Energy costs on the Fylde coast Coastal Fylde properties draw from the same Electricity North West network as the rest of the region, paying a capped unit price of about 25.2p through Q3 2026. Blackpool's exposed seafront position gives it one of the best solar resources in Lancashire — roughly 1,010 kWh/m² a year, helped by low horizon shading and clear sea air. Blackpool Council's climate emergency response and the [Warm Homes Local Grant](/guides/warm-homes-local-grant-lancashire) together prioritise the town's older FY1–FY4 terraced and guesthouse stock, much of which sits at EPC D or below and therefore qualifies for support. ## Frequently asked questions — solar panels in Blackpool **Is Blackpool good for solar panels despite the sea air?** Yes. Modern solar panels are IP67-rated and fully weatherproof, including resistant to salt air. Coastal locations like Blackpool actually benefit from increased irradiance due to the open horizon and lower inland cloud. Panel degradation from salt air in a residential setting is negligible with quality equipment. **My Blackpool property has a flat roof — can I still get solar panels?** Absolutely. Flat roof installations using ballast-mount or low-angle tilt frames are common in commercial and domestic properties across Blackpool. Tilt frames typically achieve 10–15° pitch — enough to promote self-cleaning rain runoff and maintain strong generation. **Can a guest house or B&B in Blackpool get solar panels?** Yes — and many should. Guest houses with high electricity consumption are well-placed for commercial solar. We offer fully-funded PPA options for qualifying commercial properties, meaning zero upfront cost and immediate bill savings.
