Quick answer

Winchester (SO22/SO23) is in the SSEN area and one of Hampshire's most affluent — and most heritage-sensitive — cities. We design discreet, consent-friendly systems for its extensive conservation areas and listed buildings, and high-output arrays elsewhere.

Winchester is affluent, high-value and unusually heritage-rich — the historic core is one large conservation area with hundreds of listed buildings around the Cathedral and the water meadows. That makes sympathetic, low-impact design essential, and it is exactly where our experience pays off.

A 24-mile drive from base and in SSEN territory, Winchester rewards careful design: discreet all-black systems and rear-slope siting in the centre, larger arrays on the suburban and rural-fringe roofs of Fulflood, Weeke, Stanmore and Twyford.
