How Aldershot compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Aldershot is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 44th of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 43,754 residents, and its roofs see 2.80 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,494 kWh of generation, of which around 5,557 kWh is exported at 12p for £667 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Aldershot's own PVGIS figure; change the panels, the battery or the export rate and it reruns. The design call replaces every assumption with your roof and your bills.
Rushmoor is the planning authority covering Aldershot, which the House of Commons Library classes as a medium town.
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.

Who runs the grid in Aldershot
Aldershot sits in Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks' Southern England licence area, so SSEN is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, SSEN only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Aldershot
A heat pump in Aldershot
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Aldershot make about 1,110 kWh, against 3,070 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Aldershot
A 12-panel roof in Aldershot makes about 800 kWh in July. 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.
The calculator above includes a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed. Renters and flat owners with off-street parking can claim 75% of a chargepoint's cost, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).

Common questions about solar in Aldershot
What does a solar panel system produce in Aldershot?
Each kWp of panels in Aldershot makes 1,021 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,490 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 800 kWh in July.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Aldershot?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Aldershot differs is output: about 6,490 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Aldershot need approval from the network operator?
Aldershot is on Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks' network (Southern England licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: SSEN is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much would export pay on a system in Aldershot?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,557 kWh of the 6,490 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Aldershot goes to the grid, around £667 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Aldershot in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Aldershot roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,110 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Aldershot compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Aldershot |
|---|---|---|
| Aldershot | 1,021 | this town |
| Ash and Ash Vale | 1,024 | +3 kWh |
| Weybourne | 1,020 | −1 kWh |
| Farnborough | 1,022 | +1 kWh |
| Farnham | 1,020 | −1 kWh |
| Fleet | 1,023 | +2 kWh |
| Frimley | 1,018 | −3 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
