How Chandler's Ford compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Chandler's Ford is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 32nd of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 32,167 residents, and its roofs see 2.92 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,767 kWh of generation, of which around 5,830 kWh is exported at 12p for £700 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 Chandler's Ford'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.
Any planning application in Chandler's Ford sits with Eastleigh, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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.

SSEN and your Chandler's Ford connection
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Chandler's Ford is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), which runs the Southern England licence area.
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.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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 Chandler's Ford
A heat pump in Chandler's Ford
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Chandler's Ford, a 12-panel system makes about 240 kWh in December and 270 kWh in January, a fraction of its 830 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Chandler's Ford
Chandler's Ford's July output, about 830 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
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.
