Quick answer

Aldershot (GU11/GU12) is in the SSEN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. Its Victorian terraces and modern estates suit a range of array sizes; a 4kW system in this part of north-east Hampshire typically generates around 3,900–4,300 kWh a year.

Aldershot is the historic "Home of the British Army", a Victorian garrison town with dense terraced streets near the centre, a protected military quarter, and newer residential growth on the former MoD estate and at Wellesley. That mix gives us everything from compact terraced roofs to large modern pitches on the regeneration developments.

About 35 miles north-east of our Portsmouth base near the Surrey border, Aldershot connects through Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the distribution operator for Hampshire. We serve it on scheduled install runs up the A3/A331 and manage the full SSEN connection paperwork as part of every job.
