Quick answer

Worthing (BN11–BN14) is in the UKPN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. The town's sunny seafront aspect gives strong yields — a 4kW array here typically generates around 4,000–4,400 kWh a year.

Worthing is a large West Sussex coastal town with a deep, varied housing stock: Victorian and Edwardian seafront terraces and villas in the centre, expansive inter-war suburbia at Broadwater, Tarring and Durrington, and post-war and modern estates at Goring-by-Sea and Durrington. That breadth means we design everything from compact terrace systems to large detached arrays, and the sunny coastal position keeps yields high across the board.

A 33-mile run east of our Portsmouth base, Worthing connects through UK Power Networks (UKPN) — the Sussex side of our coverage, not Hampshire's SSEN. We handle the full grid application, design all-black systems for the seafront and Goring Hall conservation areas, and pair panels with battery storage and EV charging to match each home.
