How Enfield compares
Enfield is one of 23 Middlesex towns we track, and it ranks joint 13th of 23 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement classification puts it in the core city class, with a population of 327,163, which makes it one of the largest places we publish figures for. Scale changes nothing about the physics: PVGIS gives a roof here 1,025 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 £670.
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 Enfield's own yield.
Enfield is its own local planning authority area, and its House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

UK Power Networks and your Enfield connection
Enfield sits in UK Power Networks' East England licence area, so UK Power Networks 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, UK Power Networks only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Enfield
A heat pump in Enfield
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Enfield make about 240 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Enfield 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 Enfield
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Enfield make about 790 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.

Solar panel servicing and repair in Enfield
If a system in Enfield is underperforming, start with the guides below: repair benchmarks, service scope, and the inverter question.
Solar in Enfield: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Enfield?
Enfield averages 2.81 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,025 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,520 kWh, 67% of it between April and September.
What does a typical solar system cost in Enfield?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Enfield, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,520 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Who is the network operator in Enfield, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is UK Power Networks. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted 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. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Enfield?
Around £670 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,582 kWh a 12-panel system in Enfield exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How does solar perform in Enfield in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Enfield: about 240 kWh from 12 panels, against 790 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Enfield compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Enfield compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Enfield |
|---|---|---|
| Enfield | 1,025 | this town |
| Waltham Cross | 1,012 | −13 kWh |
| Haringey | 1,024 | −1 kWh |
| Waltham Forest | 1,022 | −3 kWh |
| Cheshunt | 1,014 | −11 kWh |
| Waltham Abbey | 1,016 | −9 kWh |
| Buckhurst Hill | 1,026 | +1 kWh |
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.
