Solar and battery in Dumpton and Louisa Bay
The southern end of town, from Dumpton Gap along Louisa Bay.

If your home has a garage or a utility room, that is usually the easiest place for a battery, near the fuse board. If you drive an electric car, a charger with solar and a battery behind it is a useful pairing. See our guide to pairing them.
Whatever your house, we start from your electricity bill, not from a standard package. We look at your use, your tariff and your roof, and we show the price and payback for solar, solar with a battery, and a battery on its own.
What we check at your address
- Your last 12 months of electricity use, and whether you have or plan an electric car
- Garage or utility space for a battery near the fuse board
- Roof direction and whether the street is in a conservation area

Questions about Dumpton and Louisa Bay
Can I get solar panels in Dumpton and Louisa Bay?
Most houses can. We check your roof direction, shade and any conservation area, flat or listed building rules for your address first. Thanet District Council lists 27 conservation areas across Thanet, and four of them name Broadstairs places.
Should I choose solar only, solar and battery, or a battery only in Dumpton and Louisa Bay?
With a roof of your own, solar only is usually the best value. Solar with a battery suits homes out in the day and busy at night. A battery only suits homes that already have solar, a cheap overnight tariff, or no roof to use. Our guide to choosing shows the sums.
