Against Great Britain as a whole: Edenbridge makes 1,050 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Edenbridge is 14% above it.
How Edenbridge compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Edenbridge. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 32nd of 44 for solar yield, a town of 8,344 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,050 kWh per kWp a year, 2.88 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £936 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £689 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Edenbridge'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.
Planning applications here go through Sevenoaks; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Edenbridge 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.

UK Power Networks and your Edenbridge connection
UK Power Networks owns and runs the local electricity network in Edenbridge, as part of its South East England 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.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: 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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Edenbridge
A heat pump in Edenbridge
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Edenbridge make about 240 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Edenbridge comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
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 Edenbridge
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Edenbridge make about 830 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
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.

Edenbridge solar questions
How much electricity do solar panels make in Edenbridge?
About 6,680 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Edenbridge: 1,050 kWh per kWp, or 2.88 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 830 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Edenbridge?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Edenbridge, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,680 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Edenbridge, and what does it need from me?
UK Power Networks covers Edenbridge. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to UK Power Networks within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. 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.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Edenbridge?
Around £689 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,741 kWh a 12-panel system in Edenbridge exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Edenbridge get in December?
December is the low point: about 240 kWh from a 12-panel system in Edenbridge, on PVGIS data, rising to 830 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,130 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Edenbridge 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 Edenbridge |
|---|---|---|
| Edenbridge | 1,050 | this town |
| Oxted | 1,046 | −4 kWh |
| East Grinstead | 1,034 | −16 kWh |
| Sevenoaks | 1,043 | −7 kWh |
| Rusthall and Langton Green | 1,051 | +1 kWh |
| Caterham | 1,031 | −19 kWh |
| Southborough | 1,051 | +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.
