Solar Panel Installers in Basingstoke
Solar, battery storage and EV charging in Basingstoke — designed and installed by a local, MCS-certified team based in Portsmouth.
Quick answer
Basingstoke (RG21–RG24) is in the SSEN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. Its self-contained postwar estates offer large, simple roofs; a 4kW array in this part of north Hampshire typically generates around 3,900–4,300 kWh a year.
Basingstoke is north Hampshire's largest town, transformed by 1960s London-overspill planning into a ring of self-contained estates — Chineham, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Popley, Kempshott — surrounding a modern centre and a handful of historic pockets like Old Basing. That estate housing means a high proportion of straightforward, well-oriented modern roofs, ideal for cost-effective solar and battery systems.
At roughly 40 miles north of our Portsmouth base, Basingstoke is the furthest commonly-served point in our Hampshire coverage, connected through Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). We reach it via the A34/M3 for planned installs and take care of the complete SSEN connection paperwork for every job.

Heritage & conservation
Basingstoke and Deane has over 40 conservation areas — the most of any Hampshire district — but these centre on rural villages (Old Basing, Sherborne St John) and pockets like South View and Fairfields; the bulk of the town's modern estate housing is unconstrained.
Local housing stock
Self-contained postwar estates (Chineham, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Popley, Kempshott, Winklebury, Buckskin), Victorian terraces near the centre, and the historic village of Old Basing.
Typical roofs
Large, simple, unshaded estate roofs dominate and suit high-yield arrays; sensitive fixings only needed in the village conservation areas.
Sunlight & generation
~1,070 kWh/kWp per year; a 4kW array ≈ 3,900–4,300 kWh annually
