How Farnborough compares
Farnborough is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 43rd of 45 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 63,123 people. At 1,022 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.0 years on the 12p scenario: £914 of year one benefit against £6,360 of installed hardware, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Farnborough's own yield, and at Farnborough's 1,022 kWh per kWp it 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 Rushmoor; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Farnborough as a large 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Farnborough?

A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Farnborough before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

Read the guide →Does a standalone battery actually pay back?
No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.
Read the guide →Charging an EV from your own solar
Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.
Read the guide →How much does a heat pump cost? The 2026 numbers, before and after the grant
UK median installed cost around £12,908, before the up to £7,500 grant comes off.
Read the guide →The price cap explained, and what it does to solar payback
The cap limits unit rates, not bills. That changes what solar payback means.
