Quick answer

Farnham (GU9/GU10) is in the SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks) distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. We design discreet, all-black arrays for the town's Georgian conservation area; a 4kW array here generates around 4,000–4,300 kWh a year.

Farnham is a handsome Georgian market town in the far west of Surrey, famous for the imposing Georgian frontages of Castle Street and a well-preserved historic core that sits within a designated conservation area. Beyond the centre, the surrounding villages of Wrecclesham, Rowledge, Hale and Heath End offer plenty of Edwardian and interwar housing with the larger, unshaded roofs that suit solar.

Farnham is roughly 38 miles north of our Portsmouth HQ, a manageable run via the A3 and A31. As a west Surrey town it sits in the Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) distribution area, the same operator as neighbouring Hampshire.

Typical roofs

Period clay-tile and slate roofs requiring sensitive, reversible fixings in the conservation core; larger, more uniform roofs on the Edwardian and village stock where standard mounting works well.
