Hampshire · SO41
Solar, battery storage and EV charging in Lymington — designed and installed by a local, MCS-certified team based in Portsmouth.
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.
Grid connection (DNO)
Lymington is in the SSEN area (Hampshire's distribution operator). G98 for smaller systems up to 3.68kW per phase (notify-after); G99 (applied for in advance) for batteries and larger arrays. SCSS files the application.
