Solar Hot Water for The Home

If you have been thinking about how to make your home a bit more energy-efficient, there is a workshop coming up on Saturday, 27 June 2026, that focuses on the practical side of solar energy. The event, titled Solar Hot Water for The Home, is being held at The Earthship in Stanmer, Brighton. It is essentially a day dedicated to learning the basics of installing solar panels specifically for heating water. Given the venue—a building well-known for its sustainable design and permaculture roots—it feels like a fitting place to get into the technical side of renewable energy.

The session runs from 10:00 until 17:00, giving you a full day to get to grips with the process. It is designed for people who want to understand the mechanics behind these systems, whether you are interested in DIY projects or just want to know how the technology works before committing to a larger installation. The organisers have set the price for a standard ticket at £70.00, though it is worth noting that they mention prices can fluctuate daily, so it is best to check the current rate when you book.

Since the workshop is hosted at The Earthship on Lewes Road, it offers a chance to see sustainable building principles in action while you learn. It is a straightforward, educational event without any fluff, aimed at anyone looking to gain some hands-on knowledge about solar thermal systems. If you are planning to attend, you will need to secure your spot online, as that is the only way to purchase tickets for this session.
