Quick answer

Lymington (SO41) is in the SSEN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. We design discreet systems mindful of the New Forest National Park and the town's Georgian conservation areas; a 4kW array on this sunny coastal strip typically generates around 4,000–4,400 kWh a year.

Lymington is an affluent Georgian sailing town on the edge of the New Forest, with a celebrated cobbled High Street, listed quayside properties, and high-value residential streets running down to the Solent at Pennington and Woodside. It is a heritage-rich, coastal market where discreet, well-designed solar matters as much as raw output.

About 32 miles west of our Portsmouth base, Lymington connects through Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the Hampshire distribution operator. Its coastal position gives slightly higher irradiance than inland Hampshire. We cover it on planned runs along the A337 through the New Forest and handle the full SSEN connection application for every install.
