How Hammersmith and Fulham compares

Hammersmith and Fulham is one of 23 Middlesex towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 23 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement classification puts it in the core city class, with a population of 187,832, which makes it one of the largest places we publish figures for. Scale changes nothing about the physics: PVGIS gives a roof here 1,031 kWh per kWp a year, 2.83 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and on the 12p scenario about £247 of the year one benefit comes from solar you use yourself, with export income adding £674.

These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Hammersmith and Fulham'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.

Hammersmith and Fulham is its own local planning authority area, and its House of Commons Library settlement class is core city.

Local grid

The network operator for Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith and Fulham is served by UK Power Networks: the town's centre falls inside its London 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 Hammersmith and Fulham

A heat pump in Hammersmith and Fulham

In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Hammersmith and Fulham make about 230 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Hammersmith and Fulham comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.

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 Hammersmith and Fulham

Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Hammersmith and Fulham make about 800 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.

If you rent, or own a flat, and have private off-street parking, the government chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 a socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above prices a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

FAQs

Hammersmith and Fulham solar questions

How much electricity do solar panels make in Hammersmith and Fulham?

About 6,560 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Hammersmith and Fulham: 1,031 kWh per kWp, or 2.83 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 800 kWh.

What does a typical solar system cost in Hammersmith and Fulham?

Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Hammersmith and Fulham, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,560 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.

Which DNO covers Hammersmith and Fulham, and what does it need from me?

UK Power Networks covers Hammersmith and Fulham. 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 Hammersmith and Fulham?

Around £674 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,620 kWh a 12-panel system in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 Hammersmith and Fulham get in December?

December is the low point: about 230 kWh from a 12-panel system in Hammersmith and Fulham, on PVGIS data, rising to 800 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,110 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
