How Amesbury compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Amesbury. It is one of 20 Wiltshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 3rd of 20 for solar yield, a town of 13,548 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,044 kWh per kWp a year, 2.86 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £931 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £684 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Amesbury'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.
Wiltshire is the planning authority covering Amesbury, which the House of Commons Library classes as a small 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 Amesbury
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) owns and runs the local electricity network in Amesbury, as part of its Southern 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 SSEN is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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 Amesbury
A heat pump in Amesbury
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Amesbury make about 1,150 kWh, against 3,100 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
In England, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump and £2,500 towards an air-to-air one, with £1,500 more until March 2027 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Amesbury
From April to September, 67% of a Amesbury roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 810 kWh in May on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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.

Amesbury solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Amesbury?
Each kWp of panels in Amesbury makes 1,044 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,640 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 810 kWh in May.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Amesbury?
£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 Amesbury differs is output: about 6,640 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Amesbury need approval from the network operator?
Amesbury 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 Amesbury?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,703 kWh of the 6,640 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Amesbury goes to the grid, around £684 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 Amesbury in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 67% of a Amesbury roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,150 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Amesbury 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 Amesbury |
|---|---|---|
| Amesbury | 1,044 | this town |
| Durrington and Bulford | 1,045 | +1 kWh |
| Tidworth | 1,044 | level |
| Salisbury | 1,056 | +12 kWh |
| Andover | 1,037 | −7 kWh |
| Devizes | 1,025 | −19 kWh |
| Romsey | 1,063 | +19 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.
