Quick answer

Fleet (GU51/GU52) is in the SSEN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. Its modern Elvetham Heath and Ancells Farm estates offer large, simple roofs; a 4kW array in this part of north-east Hampshire typically generates around 3,900–4,300 kWh a year.

Fleet is an affluent, fast-growing north-east Hampshire commuter town with a high concentration of modern detached and executive housing — particularly the Elvetham Heath estate built 1999–2008 and the Ancells Farm and Pondtail developments. These newer, well-oriented roofs make Fleet one of the more straightforward and high-value solar markets in north Hampshire.

At about 38 miles north-east of our Portsmouth base, near the Surrey border, Fleet connects through Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the distribution operator across Hampshire. We cover it on planned install runs up the A3/M3 and handle the full SSEN connection application for every system.

Heritage & conservation

Limited in modern Fleet itself — Hart's conservation areas focus on Crookham Village, Elvetham and the Basingstoke Canal corridor; the post-1999 Elvetham Heath and Ancells Farm estates are largely unconstrained, with sensitive treatment only near the canal and older Crookham fabric.

Local housing stock

Modern executive detached homes on Elvetham Heath and Ancells Farm, interwar and postwar housing in West Fleet and Pondtail, and the older village fabric of Church Crookham and Crookham Village.

Typical roofs

Large, modern, well-oriented estate roofs dominate and suit sizeable arrays with battery storage; canal-corridor and Crookham Village properties need a lighter touch.
