Quick answer

Woking (GU21-GU24) is served by UK Power Networks (UKPN), and we handle the G98/G99 application for you. The town's many post-war and modern roofs suit solar well; a typical 4kW array here generates around 4,000–4,300 kWh a year.

Woking is a busy commuter town in north-west Surrey, much of it built up through the 20th century around its railway and modern town centre. Suburbs such as Horsell, Knaphill, Goldsworth Park, St John's and Old Woking are dominated by interwar and post-war semis and detached estate housing — the kind of straightforward, unshaded roofs where a solar-plus-battery system pays back quickly.

Woking is around 45 miles north of our Portsmouth base, the furthest reach of our Surrey coverage, via the A3. It lies in the UK Power Networks (UKPN) distribution area rather than Hampshire's SSEN, and SCSS handles the full grid notification and connection process on your behalf.

Heritage & conservation

Limited in the modern centre, but conservation areas exist at Old Woking, Horsell and around Hook Heath; the well-known Shah Jahan Mosque is a notable landmark. Most suburban housing is unconstrained, though heathland and SSSI land (Horsell Common) borders some northern estates.

Local housing stock

Interwar and post-war semis across Maybury and St John's, modern detached estates at Goldsworth Park and Sheerwater, larger detached homes at Hook Heath and Pyrford, and period cottages in the Old Woking and Horsell conservation areas.

Typical roofs

Predominantly modern and post-war tile roofs that take standard mounting easily, with a smaller share of period roofs in the conservation pockets needing a more discreet approach.

Sunlight & generation

~1,050 kWh/kWp per year; a 4kW array ≈ 4,000–4,300 kWh annually
