Quick answer

Haslemere (GU27) is in the UK Power Networks (UKPN) distribution area, and we handle the G98/G99 application for you. We design low-profile, all-black systems suited to the Surrey Hills AONB setting; a 4kW array here generates around 4,000–4,300 kWh a year.

Haslemere is a wooded south-west Surrey town wrapped on three sides by the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the South Downs National Park abutting its southern edge. Its leafy suburban quarters at Shottermill, Critchmere, Grayswood and Beacon Hill are dominated by detached and semi-detached homes on generous plots — ideal for solar, but with real visual-impact sensitivities given the landscape designations.

Haslemere is about 32 miles north of our Portsmouth base, the closest of our Surrey towns, reached via the A3. It falls in the UK Power Networks (UKPN) area rather than Hampshire's SSEN, and SCSS handles the full grid-connection application on your behalf.

Solar in Haslemere: the local detail

Grid connection (DNO)

Haslemere is in the UKPN area (Surrey side of our coverage, not SSEN). G98 for smaller systems; G99 (applied for in advance) for batteries and larger arrays — SCSS files the application.

Local planning authority

Waverley Borough Council (with the Surrey Hills National Landscape / AONB designation around the town and the South Downs National Park Authority to the south)

Heritage & conservation

Significant landscape constraints — the historic High Street is a conservation area, and the Surrey Hills AONB wraps three sides of the town with the South Downs National Park on the fourth, so visual-impact and discreet all-black, low-profile designs are the norm on exposed or elevated plots.

Local housing stock

Victorian and Arts-and-Crafts villas near the centre, leafy interwar and post-war detached homes at Shottermill and Critchmere, semi-rural cottages at Grayswood, and substantial wooded-plot properties around Hindhead and Beacon Hill.

Typical roofs

A mix of slate and tile roofs on period villas needing sensitive fixings, plus larger detached roofs on wooded plots where tree shading and AONB sightlines drive panel placement.

Sunlight & generation

~1,050 kWh/kWp per year; a 4kW array ≈ 4,000–4,300 kWh annually
