How Banstead compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Banstead. It is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks 44th of 47 for solar yield, a town of 8,512 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,016 kWh per kWp a year, 2.78 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £910 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £663 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Banstead'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.
Reigate and Banstead is the planning authority covering Banstead, 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Banstead's own coordinates (51.32387, -0.19723), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate; the methodology is on our help page.
Who runs the grid in Banstead
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Banstead is UK Power Networks, which runs the South 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.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for 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 UK Power Networks as it does every network operator.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Banstead
A heat pump in Banstead
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Banstead make about 1,090 kWh, against 3,060 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
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 Banstead
From April to September, 68% of a Banstead roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 800 kWh in July 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.

Banstead solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Banstead?
Each kWp of panels in Banstead makes 1,016 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,460 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 800 kWh in July.
How much are solar panels in Banstead?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Banstead before a battery. What Banstead changes is the return, about 6,460 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Banstead need approval from the network operator?
Banstead is on UK Power Networks' network (South East England licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: UK Power Networks is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. 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. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Banstead?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Banstead exports about 5,525 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £663; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Is solar worth it in Banstead in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Banstead roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,090 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Banstead compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Banstead.

| Epsom | 1,018 | +2 kWh |
| Worcester Park and Stoneleigh | 1,017 | +1 kWh |
| Ashtead | 1,019 | +3 kWh |
Same PVGIS v5.2 query for every town. Small differences are within year-to-year weather; more than about 30 kWh per kWp apart is geography.
