Solar Panel Installers in Petworth
Solar, battery storage and EV charging in Petworth — designed and installed by a local, MCS-certified team based in Portsmouth.
Quick answer
Petworth (GU28) is in the UKPN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. The town 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.
Petworth is a small, exceptionally historic West Sussex market town inside the South Downs National Park, best known for Petworth House and a tightly-knit centre of listed Georgian and earlier properties around Market Square, Lombard Street and the Golden Square. With so much of the town protected, heritage-sensitive design is the norm — discreet, low-profile panels on less-visible roof slopes, plus modern homes on the outer lanes that take more conventional arrays.
A 28-mile drive north of our Portsmouth base, Petworth connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN) rather than Hampshire's SSEN. We handle the full G98/G99 application and follow South Downs National Park Authority guidance, specifying all-black, rear-slope systems and managing Listed Building Consent where the property requires it.
