Quick answer

Bognor Regis (PO21/PO22) sits in the UKPN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. As one of the sunniest spots in Britain, a 4kW array here generates around 4,100–4,500 kWh a year — among the best yields on our whole coverage.

Bognor Regis is a West Sussex seaside town with a famous reputation as one of the sunniest places in the UK, which makes its rooftops genuinely well-suited to solar. The housing is a mix of inter-war and post-war seafront homes, 20th-century suburbs and newer estates at Felpham and Aldwick, so we see everything from compact bungalows to larger detached coastal properties. The high irradiance and the prevalence of unobstructed south-facing seafront roofs mean payback here is often quicker than further inland.

A 22-mile run east along the coast from our Portsmouth base, Bognor Regis connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN) — the Sussex side of our coverage, distinct from Hampshire's SSEN. We handle the full grid application, design all-black systems for the conservation areas, and pair panels with batteries to bank the strong summer generation for evening use.
