Quick answer

Most of Surrey connects through UKPN, with SSEN in some western areas — we confirm your DNO by postcode and handle the G98/G99 application. Surrey's affluent, high-value housing makes it strong territory for premium solar and battery systems.

Surrey is an affluent, high-value market where homeowners tend to invest in premium, well-designed systems — Tesla Powerwall and Sigenergy storage feature heavily. It is the northern edge of our coverage, anchored on Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere and Farnham.

Surrey's grid is split: most of the county connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN), while some western areas fall under SSEN. We confirm the correct DNO by postcode and manage the connection for you.

Grants & export income

Be realistic about grants in Surrey: most homeowners here won't qualify for a solar grant, and the schemes that exist are income- or property-restricted — ECO4 and the Warm Homes scheme target low-income households and specific EPC bands, while local-authority group-buy rounds such as Solar Together Surrey open only periodically and simply pool buying power rather than hand out cash. For the vast majority of Surrey households the main ongoing earner is the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG): an MCS-certified install plus a smart export meter lets you sell surplus electricity back to the grid, with leading tariffs paying roughly 15p–27p per kWh as of 2026 (suppliers set and change their own rates). You can hold your SEG tariff with a different supplier from your import tariff, so it pays to shop around.

FAQ

Solar panels in Surrey: FAQs

How much do solar panels cost in Surrey?
A typical home system across Surrey costs from around £5,500–£11,000 depending on size and battery storage, with 0% VAT on residential solar. ~1,030–1,060 kWh/kWp per year — a 4kW system generates around 3,800–4,000 kWh. Every quote is tailored to your roof after a free survey.
Which electricity network (DNO) covers Surrey?
UKPN (UK Power Networks), with SSEN in some western areas. We handle the full G98 (smaller systems) or G99 (batteries and larger arrays) connection application on your behalf.
Do you need planning permission for solar panels in Surrey?
Most installs are permitted development; conservation areas and listed buildings need sensitive design. The main planning authorities here include Guildford Borough Council, Waverley Borough Council, Woking Borough Council, Surrey Hills National Landscape (AONB). We advise per property and design discreet systems where required.
Which towns in Surrey do you cover?
We install across Surrey, including Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere, Farnham, Woking. If your town isn't listed, just ask — we very likely cover it.
Who is my DNO in Surrey — UKPN or SSEN?
Most of Surrey connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN), but some western areas fall under SSEN. We confirm the correct DNO from your GU, KT or RH postcode before we design anything. Systems up to 3.68kW per phase use the G98 'connect and notify' route (we notify the DNO after commissioning); larger systems and anything with battery storage or export need a G99 application approved before install, which we submit and manage for you.
Will solar panels need planning permission in Surrey?
Usually not — domestic roof solar is Permitted Development in England provided panels don't protrude more than 200mm or sit above the highest part of the roof. Surrey has more constraints than most, though: the Surrey Hills National Landscape (AONB) and numerous conservation areas and listed buildings around Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere and Farnham can trigger full planning or Listed Building Consent. We design discreet all-black, rear-slope systems for heritage settings and confirm the position with Guildford, Waverley or Woking Borough Council where needed.
Does solar still work well this far north in Surrey?
Yes. Surrey sits a little inland from our sunniest coastal territory, at roughly 1,030–1,060 kWh/kWp per year, so a 4kW south-facing array here generates around 3,800–4,000 kWh annually — plenty to make a well-sized system worthwhile. East or west-facing roofs produce roughly 15–20% less than south, which is why we model your specific roof orientation and pitch before quoting rather than quoting a single headline number.
