How Camden compares
Camden is one of 23 Middlesex towns we track, and it ranks joint 5th of 23 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement classification puts it in the core city class, with a population of 216,171, which makes it one of the largest places we publish figures for. Scale changes nothing about the physics: PVGIS gives a roof here 1,026 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and on the 12p scenario about £247 of the year one benefit comes from solar you use yourself, with export income adding £671.
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 Camden's own yield.
Planning applications in Camden go to its own council, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a core city.
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 Camden's own coordinates (51.54349, -0.15522), 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 Camden network
UK Power Networks owns and runs the local electricity network in Camden, as part of its London licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: UK Power Networks is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Camden
A heat pump in Camden
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Camden's roofs make 1,140 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,050 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 Camden
A 12-panel roof in Camden 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.
If you rent, or own a flat, and have private off-street parking, the government chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 a socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above prices a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Solar in Camden: your questions answered
What could a roof in Camden generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Camden at 1,026 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 6,530 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Camden?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Camden before a battery. What Camden changes is the return, about 6,530 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Camden?
Usually not in advance. UK Power Networks, the network operator for Camden, 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. 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. "See our DNO explainer.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Camden?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Camden exports about 5,589 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £671; 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 Camden?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Camden 37.7 kWh per kWp in December and 40.4 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 240 kWh and 260 kWh in those months, against 800 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Camden 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 Camden |
|---|---|---|
| Camden | 1,026 | this town |
| Islington | 1,026 | level |
| City of Westminster | 1,026 | level |
| Kensington and Chelsea | 1,026 | level |
| City and County of the City of London | 1,026 | level |
| Haringey | 1,024 | −2 kWh |
| Hackney | 1,025 | −1 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.
