How much a Norfolk roof makes, month by month
From 35.4 kWh per kWp in December to 124.7 in May: a roof in Norfolk makes 3.5 times as much in its best month as in its darkest, and 1,028 kWh per kWp across the year.

Our GB average is 925 kWh per kWp a year, the mean of the 85 county PVGIS estimates we publish; at 1,028, Norfolk is 11% above it.
How Norfolk compares
Norfolk ranks joint 11th 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 5,601 kWh to the grid a year on top of the £247 it saves you directly, so oversizing the array is usually the right call.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees in the middle of Norfolk. Yours will differ; the calculator below lets you test panels, batteries and export rates first.
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 Norfolk (52.6725, 0.9488), 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 8.5p/kWh where used (a supplier's published off-peak rate, checked September 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.
The network operator for Norfolk
UK Power Networks is the distribution network operator (DNO) for Norfolk, running its East England licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means UK Power Networks is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds UK Power Networks as it does every network operator.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Norfolk
A heat pump in Norfolk
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Norfolk, a 12-panel system makes about 230 kWh in December and 240 kWh in January, a fraction of its 790 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme, open in England and Wales, takes £7,500 off an air source or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 off an air-to-air unit. Homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas get £1,500 more until March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Norfolk
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Norfolk make about 790 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can get 75% off a chargepoint and its installation, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above adds a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Solar in Norfolk: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Norfolk?
About 6,540 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Norfolk: 1,028 kWh per kWp, or 2.82 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 790 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Norfolk?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Norfolk, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,540 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Norfolk, and what does it need from me?
UK Power Networks covers Norfolk. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to UK Power Networks within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds UK Power Networks as it does every network operator.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Norfolk?
Around £672 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,601 kWh a 12-panel system in Norfolk exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Norfolk get in December?
December is the low point: about 230 kWh from a 12-panel system in Norfolk, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,090 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.

How to size a solar and battery system, properly
Usage, storage, connection, array. Four decisions, and the order between them matters.
Read the guide →Does a standalone battery actually pay back?
No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.
Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.
