Solar Panels Littlehampton: Installers for BN17
Solar, battery storage and EV charging in Littlehampton — designed and installed by a local, MCS-certified team based in Portsmouth.
Quick answer
Littlehampton (BN17) sits on the boundary between the SSEN and UK Power Networks areas, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. This stretch of the Sussex coast enjoys high sunshine, so a 4kW array here typically generates around 4,000–4,400 kWh a year.
Littlehampton is a West Sussex coastal town at the mouth of the River Arun, with a housing mix that spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront, 20th-century semis at Wick, and the surrounding affluent villages of Rustington and East Preston. The town's sunny coastal position and the number of unobstructed roofs make it a strong location for solar, and there is steady demand for battery storage to make the most of long summer days.
A 28-mile drive east of our Portsmouth base along the PO/BN coastal corridor, Littlehampton sits right on the boundary between SSEN and UK Power Networks (UKPN), so we confirm which operator serves your street from your postcode before we file anything. We handle the full G98/G99 application, design discreet all-black systems for the seafront conservation areas, and size batteries and EV chargers to suit each property.

Grid connection (DNO)
Littlehampton sits on the boundary between two network operators: our postcode checks put BN17 5 on SSEN's network, while BN17 6 and neighbouring Rustington (BN16) are UK Power Networks. We confirm your operator by postcode; G98 covers smaller systems and G99 (applied for in advance) covers batteries and larger arrays — SCSS files the application.
