Quick answer

Godalming (GU7/GU8) sits in the UK Power Networks (UKPN) distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. We design discreet, all-black systems for the town's five conservation areas; a 4kW array here generates around 4,000–4,300 kWh a year.

Godalming is a historic Wey-valley market town just south of Guildford, with a tightly knit medieval centre and a strong "village" identity across its communities at Farncombe, Busbridge, Charterhouse and Ockford Ridge. There are five conservation areas and over 200 listed buildings here, so a high share of our enquiries call for a sensitive, low-visibility design — usually all-black panels kept to rear and side roof slopes.

Godalming is roughly 38 miles north of our Portsmouth HQ, reached via the A3. The town lies in the UK Power Networks (UKPN) area — the Surrey side of our patch rather than Hampshire's SSEN — and SCSS manages the entire grid-connection process so you don't have to.
