Quick answer

Crawley (RH10/RH11) is in the UKPN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. Its planned new-town roofs suit solar well — a 4kW array here typically generates around 3,800–4,150 kWh a year.

Crawley is a post-war New Town built around fourteen self-contained neighbourhoods — Three Bridges, Pound Hill, Gossops Green, Bewbush, Maidenbower and the rest — each with its own consistent housing of the era. That planned uniformity is a real advantage for solar: simple, regular, often unshaded roofs that take standard arrays cleanly, with very little heritage restriction across most of the town.

A 42-mile drive north-east of our Portsmouth base, Crawley connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN) — the Sussex side of our coverage, not Hampshire's SSEN. We handle the full G98/G99 application, and the predictable estate roofs make it straightforward to design panels with battery storage and an EV charger as a single coordinated system.
