How Faversham compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Faversham. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 17th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 22,689 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,082 kWh per kWp a year, 2.96 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £960 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £713 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Faversham's own PVGIS figure; change the panels, the battery or the export rate and it reruns. The design call replaces every assumption with your roof and your bills.
Any planning application in Faversham sits with Swale, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Faversham
Faversham is served by UK Power Networks: the town's centre falls inside its South East England licence area on NESO's boundary map.
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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Faversham
A heat pump in Faversham
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Faversham make about 250 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Faversham comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme, open in England and Wales, takes £7,500 off an air source or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 off an air-to-air unit. Homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas get £1,500 more until March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Faversham
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Faversham make about 840 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.
The calculator above includes a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed. Renters and flat owners with off-street parking can claim 75% of a chargepoint's cost, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).

Faversham solar questions
How much electricity do solar panels make in Faversham?
About 6,880 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Faversham: 1,082 kWh per kWp, or 2.96 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 840 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Faversham?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Faversham, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,880 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Faversham, and what does it need from me?
UK Power Networks covers Faversham. 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 Faversham?
Around £713 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,945 kWh a 12-panel system in Faversham 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 Faversham get in December?
December is the low point: about 250 kWh from a 12-panel system in Faversham, on PVGIS data, rising to 840 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,160 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
