West Sussex · GU29
Solar, battery storage and EV charging in Midhurst — designed and installed by a local, MCS-certified team based in Portsmouth.
Quick answer
Midhurst (GU29) is in the SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks) 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 Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the same operator as our Hampshire home patch. 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.
Grid connection (DNO)
Midhurst is in the SSEN area — the same operator as our Hampshire home patch; UK Power Networks takes over further east in Sussex. G98 covers smaller systems; G99 (applied for in advance) covers batteries and larger arrays — SCSS files the application.
