How Frimley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Frimley. It is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks joint 38th of 47 for solar yield, a town of 15,939 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,018 kWh per kWp a year, 2.79 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £912 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £665 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Frimley'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.
Surrey Heath is the planning authority covering Frimley, which the House of Commons Library classes 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Frimley's own coordinates (51.31313, -0.73245), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate; the methodology is on our help page.
Who runs the grid in Frimley
Frimley sits in Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks' Southern England licence area, so SSEN is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to SSEN within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Frimley
A heat pump in Frimley
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Frimley make about 1,120 kWh, against 3,050 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more 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 Frimley
A 12-panel roof in Frimley makes about 800 kWh in July. A typical home uses around 70 kWh of that in daylight (the calculator's typical-use settings), which leaves most of the month's output for an EV or for export.
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).

Frimley solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Frimley?
Each kWp of panels in Frimley makes 1,018 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,470 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 800 kWh in July.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Frimley?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Frimley differs is output: about 6,470 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Frimley need approval from the network operator?
Frimley is on Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks' network (Southern England licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: SSEN is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. 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. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much would export pay on a system in Frimley?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,538 kWh of the 6,470 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Frimley goes to the grid, around £665 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Frimley in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Frimley roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,120 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Frimley 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 Frimley |
|---|---|---|
| Frimley | 1,018 | this town |
| Camberley | 1,019 | +1 kWh |
| Farnborough | 1,022 | +4 kWh |
| Sandhurst | 1,016 | −2 kWh |
| Ash and Ash Vale | 1,024 | +6 kWh |
| Aldershot | 1,021 | +3 kWh |
| Yateley | 1,017 | −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.
