Against Great Britain as a whole: Fleet makes 1,023 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Fleet is 11% above it.
How Fleet compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Fleet is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 42nd of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 38,967 residents, and its roofs see 2.80 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,506 kWh of generation, of which around 5,570 kWh is exported at 12p for £668 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Fleet'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.
Fleet sits within Hart, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a medium 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.

Connecting solar to the Fleet network
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Fleet is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), which runs the 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.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Fleet
A heat pump in Fleet
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Fleet's roofs make 1,120 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,070 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Fleet
From April to September, 68% of a Fleet roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 790 kWh in July on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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).

Common questions about solar in Fleet
What could a roof in Fleet generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Fleet at 1,023 kWh per kWp a year, 2.80 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,510 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Fleet?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Fleet before a battery. What Fleet changes is the return, about 6,510 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Fleet?
Usually not in advance. SSEN, the network operator for Fleet, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval first. 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. "See our DNO explainer.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Fleet?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Fleet exports about 5,570 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £668; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Do solar panels work in winter in Fleet?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Fleet 36.8 kWh per kWp in December and 40 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 230 kWh and 250 kWh in those months, against 790 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Fleet 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 Fleet |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet | 1,023 | this town |
| Farnborough | 1,022 | −1 kWh |
| Weybourne | 1,020 | −3 kWh |
| Aldershot | 1,021 | −2 kWh |
| Yateley | 1,017 | −6 kWh |
| Ash and Ash Vale | 1,024 | +1 kWh |
| Farnham | 1,020 | −3 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.
