How Roxburghshire compares
Roxburghshire ranks 62nd of the 85 counties we track for solar yield. Self use does the heavy lifting here: of the £782 year one benefit on a typical 12 panel system, £247 comes from replacing 26.32p imports with your own generation, which is why battery sizing matters more than panel count.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below opens on Roxburghshire's own PVGIS yield and prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery; your free design call reworks every number for your roof.
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.

Connecting solar to the Roxburghshire network
SP Energy Networks is the distribution network operator (DNO) for Roxburghshire, running its South and Central Scotland licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: SP Energy Networks is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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 SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Roxburghshire
A heat pump in Roxburghshire
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Roxburghshire's roofs make 770 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,710 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
Scottish homes apply through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: up to £7,500 in grant for a heat pump, up to £7,500 more as an optional interest-free loan, and a £1,500 uplift for rural and island homes (checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Roxburghshire
A 12-panel roof in Roxburghshire makes about 740 kWh in May. A typical home uses around 70 kWh of that in daylight (the calculator's typical-use settings), which leaves most of the month's output for an EV or for export.
If you rent, or own a flat, and have private off-street parking, the government chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 a socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above prices a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Roxburghshire solar questions
What could a roof in Roxburghshire generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Roxburghshire at 849 kWh per kWp a year, 2.33 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 5,400 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Roxburghshire?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Roxburghshire before a battery. What Roxburghshire changes is the return, about 5,400 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Roxburghshire?
Usually not in advance. SP Energy Networks, the network operator for Roxburghshire, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval first. 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 SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator. "See our DNO explainer.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Roxburghshire?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Roxburghshire exports about 4,463 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £536; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Do solar panels work in winter in Roxburghshire?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Roxburghshire 20 kWh per kWp in December and 24.5 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 130 kWh and 160 kWh in those months, against 740 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
