How Camberley compares

Among the places we publish figures for, Camberley is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks joint 33rd of 47 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 38,270 residents, and its roofs see 2.79 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,481 kWh of generation, of which around 5,544 kWh is exported at 12p for £665 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.

Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Camberley's own yield, and prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.

Surrey Heath is the planning authority covering Camberley, which the House of Commons Library classes as a medium town.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Camberley's own coordinates (51.33449, -0.73273), 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.

Local grid

Who runs the grid in Camberley

Camberley 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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Camberley

A heat pump in Camberley

A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Camberley make about 1,120 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).

How heat pumps work

Charging an EV in Camberley

A 12-panel roof in Camberley 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.

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.

FAQs

Camberley solar questions

What does a solar panel system produce in Camberley?

Each kWp of panels in Camberley makes 1,019 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,480 kWh, from about 240 kWh in December up to 800 kWh in July.

How much are solar panels in Camberley?

The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Camberley before a battery. What Camberley changes is the return, about 6,480 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.

Would a system in Camberley need approval from the network operator?

Camberley 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 can I earn from exporting solar in Camberley?

With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Camberley exports about 5,544 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £665; 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 Camberley in winter?

It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Camberley roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,120 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.

How Camberley compares with its neighbours

How the towns nearest Camberley compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.

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.
