How Bursledon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Bursledon. It is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 24th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 8,953 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,092 kWh per kWp a year, 2.99 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £968 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £721 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Bursledon'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.
Bursledon sits within Eastleigh, 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 Bursledon's own coordinates (50.8872, -1.31541), 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 Bursledon network
On NESO's licence-area map, Bursledon is in Southern England, which Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) operates. That makes SSEN the network operator for any system fitted here.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to SSEN within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
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 Bursledon
A heat pump in Bursledon
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Bursledon's roofs make 1,160 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,300 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 Bursledon
A 12-panel roof in Bursledon makes about 860 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.
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.

Bursledon solar questions
What could a roof in Bursledon generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Bursledon at 1,092 kWh per kWp a year, 2.99 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,950 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Bursledon?
£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 Bursledon differs is output: about 6,950 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Bursledon?
Usually not in advance. SSEN, the network operator for Bursledon, 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 would export pay on a system in Bursledon?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 6,008 kWh of the 6,950 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Bursledon goes to the grid, around £721 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Bursledon?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Bursledon 37.5 kWh per kWp in December and 41.4 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 240 kWh and 260 kWh in those months, against 860 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Bursledon compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Bursledon compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Bursledon |

| Bursledon | 1,092 | this town |
| Hedge End | 1,084 | −8 kWh |
| Locks Heath | 1,090 | −2 kWh |
| Whiteley | 1,090 | −2 kWh |
| West End | 1,085 | −7 kWh |
| Southampton | 1,080 | −12 kWh |
| Hythe and Dibden Purlieu | 1,107 | +15 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.
