Quick answer

Littlehampton (BN17) is in the UKPN distribution area, 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 connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN) rather than Hampshire's SSEN. 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.
