Against Great Britain as a whole: Bordon makes 1,025 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Bordon is 11% above it.
How Bordon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Bordon. It is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 41st of 45 for solar yield, a town of 10,827 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,025 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £917 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £670 from export at 12p.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Bordon's own yield.
Bordon sits within East Hampshire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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 Bordon's own coordinates (51.11441, -0.86195), 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.
Connecting solar to the Bordon network
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) owns and runs the local electricity network in Bordon, 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.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Bordon
A heat pump in Bordon
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Bordon's roofs make 1,110 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,060 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Bordon
From April to September, 68% of a Bordon 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.

Solar in Bordon: your questions answered
What could a roof in Bordon generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Bordon at 1,025 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,520 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Bordon?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Bordon before a battery. What Bordon changes is the return, about 6,520 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Bordon?
Usually not in advance. SSEN, the network operator for Bordon, 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. 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. "See our DNO explainer.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Bordon?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Bordon exports about 5,582 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £670; 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 Bordon?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Bordon 36.4 kWh per kWp in December and 39.8 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 230 kWh and 250 kWh in those months, against 800 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Bordon compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Bordon.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Bordon |
|---|---|---|
| Bordon | 1,025 | this town |
| Wrecclesham | 1,014 | −11 kWh |
| Alton | 1,043 | +18 kWh |
| Haslemere | 1,042 | +17 kWh |
| Farnham | 1,020 | −5 kWh |
| Petersfield | 1,056 | +31 kWh |
| Weybourne | 1,020 | −5 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.

East, west or south facing: what your roof direction really costs you
An east west split gives up about a fifth of the annual total, and can still be worth more than south.
