Quick answer

Andover (SP10/SP11) is in the SSEN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. Its large postwar and modern estates suit big, simple arrays; a 4kW system in this part of north Hampshire typically generates around 3,900–4,300 kWh a year.

Andover is a fast-growing north Hampshire town that expanded hugely as a London overspill centre from the 1960s, giving it extensive modern housing estates alongside a compact Georgian conservation core around the High Street and St Mary's Church. The newer Augusta Park, Picket Twenty and Saxon Fields developments offer exactly the large, unshaded, south-facing roofs that make solar straightforward and high-yielding.

At about 38 miles north of our Portsmouth base, Andover is one of the further reaches of our Hampshire coverage, connected through Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). We cover the town on planned install runs up the A303/A34 corridor and manage the full SSEN connection process on your behalf.

Heritage & conservation

Concentrated in the centre — the Andover conservation area (designated 1969, extended 1984) covers the High Street, London Street, Bridge Street and the Georgian enclave around St Mary's Church; discreet designs apply there, but most of the town's modern estates are unconstrained.

Local housing stock

Georgian and Victorian properties around the High Street, 1960s–70s overspill estates (Cricklade, Smannell Road), and large modern developments at Augusta Park, Picket Twenty and Saxon Fields.

Typical roofs

Large, simple, unshaded pitches on the modern estates ideal for high-yield arrays; heritage fixings only needed in the small Georgian conservation core.

Sunlight & generation

~1,070 kWh/kWp per year; a 4kW array ≈ 3,900–4,300 kWh annually
