[Home](/)/ 2. Areas covered # Solar installer areas we cover MCS-accredited residential solar installers across every county in the South East of England. Pick your county, then your town. ## South East solar coverage, from coast to Chilterns Our vetted installer network covers every postcode in the South East of England — a region that stretches from the chalk downs of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight in the west, north through the Thames Valley to the edge of Milton Keynes, and east across the Kent marshes to the Essex coast. It's the sunniest, densest and most solar-suitable region of the UK: irradiance figures from PVGIS show South East roofs generating 5-9% more per installed kWp than the national average, which meaningfully improves payback. Because the South East is split across three Distribution Network Operators (UK Power Networks, SSEN and — for a handful of northern-Bucks postcodes — National Grid Electricity Distribution), we make sure every installer we match you to has active experience filing G98 and G99 applications with your specific DNO. That avoids the delays homeowners frequently see when a firm from outside the region tries to navigate an unfamiliar approvals process for the first time. Regionally, we typically install around 40% of jobs in Surrey and Kent, 25% across Sussex and Hampshire, and the balance spread across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, the Isle of Wight and Essex. Every county page below links through to individual town pages with local pricing, planning notes and postcode-level DNO information.

Coverage across the South East Which counties do you cover? Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, the Isle of Wight and Essex. Within each county we cover every postcode — from the Isle of Wight to Milton Keynes, Canterbury to Newbury, Southampton to Southend. How do I know if my exact postcode is covered? If your postcode falls within any of the counties above, it is covered. If you're on the border of the South East (for example far-west Wiltshire, north Northamptonshire or south London) call us on the number in the header and we'll tell you honestly whether we have a suitable local installer or whether you're better served elsewhere. Why do you only operate in the South East? Because vetting installers properly takes time. Auditing MCS status, RECC membership, insurance, financials and complaints history for one installer takes us roughly two working days per year. We'd rather know fifty South East installers well than five hundred nationally at a superficial level — and it means every match is based on real, current knowledge of the partner. Which Distribution Network Operator (DNO) covers my area? The South East is split three ways. UK Power Networks covers Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex (east of Chichester) and Essex. SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks) covers Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the Isle of Wight. Surrey is split between UK Power Networks and SSEN depending on postcode. Your installer handles the G98 / G99 filing with whichever DNO applies. Are prices the same across every county? Broadly yes. Panel, inverter and battery hardware is priced nationally; the only meaningful regional variance is scaffolding cost (higher in denser Kent and Surrey commuter towns, lower in rural Hampshire and Oxfordshire) and drive-time labour on remote Isle of Wight and rural West Sussex jobs. Expect ±5% around the national quote range. Do you cover conservation areas and listed buildings? Yes — our installers regularly work in conservation areas across the Cotswolds AONB, South Downs National Park, Chichester Harbour AONB, Kent Downs, Surrey Hills and North Wessex Downs, and on Grade II listed properties. Consent is typically decided within 8 weeks, is included in our quotes at cost, and our installers know which panel colours, mounting rails and cable routes tend to secure planning approval in each authority. How quickly can you get an installer to my area? For a phone quote, same working day. For an in-person survey, typically 5-10 working days in mainland counties and 10-14 working days on the Isle of Wight. Installs themselves are booked 4-8 weeks out from a signed quote — sooner in winter when demand is lower, longer in the March-June spring peak. Do you cover new-build homes on developer estates? Yes. New-build installs are actually simpler than retrofits because DNO capacity is typically pre-provisioned by the developer and the roof is un-weathered. We'll check your NHBC / LABC warranty terms before drilling any fixings — most modern developer warranties explicitly permit MCS-accredited solar retrofits within the first 10 years.
