How Gosport compares
Gosport is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 16th of 45 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 71,006 people. At 1,116 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 6.5 years on the 12p scenario: £986 of year one benefit against £6,360 installed, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
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 Gosport's own yield.
Planning applications in Gosport go to its own council, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Who runs the grid in Gosport
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) owns and runs the local electricity network in Gosport, as part of its Southern England licence area.
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: SSEN is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for 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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Gosport
A heat pump in Gosport
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Gosport make about 1,200 kWh, against 3,370 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 Gosport
A 12-panel roof in Gosport makes about 880 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.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can get 75% off a chargepoint and its installation, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above adds a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Common questions about solar in Gosport
What does a solar panel system produce in Gosport?
Each kWp of panels in Gosport makes 1,116 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 7,100 kWh, from about 250 kWh in December up to 880 kWh in July.
How much are solar panels in Gosport?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Gosport before a battery. What Gosport changes is the return, about 7,100 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Gosport need approval from the network operator?
Gosport 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 can I earn from exporting solar in Gosport?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Gosport exports about 6,161 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £739; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Is solar worth it in Gosport in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Gosport roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,200 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Gosport 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 Gosport |
|---|---|---|
| Gosport | 1,116 | this town |
| Lee-on-the-Solent | 1,104 | −12 kWh |
| Portsmouth | 1,124 | +8 kWh |
| Fareham | 1,117 | +1 kWh |
| Ryde | 1,136 | +20 kWh |
| Locks Heath | 1,090 | −26 kWh |
| East Cowes | 1,112 | −4 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.
