How Durrington and Bulford compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Durrington and Bulford. It is one of 20 Wiltshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 20 for solar yield, a town of 9,585 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,045 kWh per kWp a year, 2.86 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £932 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £685 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 Durrington and Bulford's own yield.
Planning applications here go through Wiltshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Durrington and Bulford 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.

The network operator for Durrington and Bulford
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) owns and runs the local electricity network in Durrington and Bulford, 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.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Durrington and Bulford
A heat pump in Durrington and Bulford
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Durrington and Bulford, a 12-panel system makes about 230 kWh in December and 260 kWh in January, a fraction of its 810 kWh in May, 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 Durrington and Bulford
Durrington and Bulford's May output, about 810 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.
