How Cambridgeshire compares
Cambridgeshire ranks 10th of the 85 counties we track for solar yield, which puts export income near the top of the country. On the 12p scenario a 12 panel system here sends about 5,652 kWh to the grid a year on top of the £247 it saves you directly, so oversizing the array is usually the right call.
A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Cambridgeshire generates around 6,589 kWh a year, worth around £925 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
The charger is in the installed price but left out of payback: charging savings depend on your mileage and tariff, which the design call models properly.

Generation from PVGIS v5.2 (European Commission JRC, SARAH3), retrieved August 2026 for a representative point in Cambridgeshire (52.3393, 0.1322), assuming 1 kWp, 14% system loss, 35 degree pitch, due south. Import valued at 26.32p/kWh (Ofgem price cap average, Oct to Dec 2026); off-peak charging at 8p/kWh where used (a supplier's published EV off-peak rate, checked Aug 2026); export at the scenario you pick, from the dated tariff table. Prices are installed pricing, August 2026, standard installations; 530W LONGi panels at £1,000 per kWp. Estimates for illustration, not a quote: your free design call prices your actual roof.
Common questions about solar in Cambridgeshire
What could a roof in Cambridgeshire generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Cambridgeshire at 1,036 kWh per kWp a year, 2.84 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Cambridgeshire?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Cambridgeshire costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Cambridgeshire need approval from the network operator?
Most home solar and battery systems qualify for the simpler G98 notification, made to the network operator (DNO) after installation rather than before. A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Cambridgeshire before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide and our DNO explainer cover it in full.
What would the payback be on a typical system in Cambridgeshire?
On the 12p export scenario, that system pays back in around 6.9 years, from about £925 of estimated year one benefit.
