Quick answer

Midhurst (GU29) is in the UKPN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. It sits inside the South Downs National Park, so we design discreet, all-black arrays; a 4kW array here typically generates around 3,850–4,200 kWh a year.

Midhurst is a historic West Sussex market town set deep inside the South Downs National Park, with a statutory conservation area of more than 100 listed properties around North Street, Knockhundred Row and the old market square. The mix of timber-framed and tile-hung historic homes alongside modern fringe estates means installs range from highly sensitive heritage work to straightforward arrays on newer roofs — and visual impact within the park is always part of the design.

A 25-mile drive north of our Portsmouth base, Midhurst connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN) rather than Hampshire's SSEN. We handle the full G98/G99 application and work to South Downs National Park Authority guidance, specifying all-black, low-profile, rear-slope panels so systems sit quietly within the protected landscape.
