How Hedon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hedon. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks 1st of 122 for solar yield, a town of 8,054 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,019 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.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Hedon'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.
Hedon sits within East Riding of Yorkshire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Connecting solar to the Hedon network
Northern Powergrid owns and runs the local electricity network in Hedon, as part of its Yorkshire licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Hedon
A heat pump in Hedon
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Hedon's roofs make 1,070 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,090 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 Hedon
A 12-panel roof in Hedon makes about 810 kWh in May. 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.
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.

Hedon solar questions
What could a roof in Hedon generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Hedon at 1,019 kWh per kWp a year, 2.79 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,480 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Hedon?
£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 Hedon differs is output: about 6,480 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Hedon?
Usually not in advance. Northern Powergrid, the network operator for Hedon, 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. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Hedon?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,544 kWh of the 6,480 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Hedon 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.
Do solar panels work in winter in Hedon?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Hedon 34.8 kWh per kWp in December and 36.1 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 230 kWh in those months, against 810 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Hedon 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 Hedon |
|---|---|---|
| Hedon | 1,019 | this town |
| Kingston upon Hull | 993 | −26 kWh |
| Immingham | 1,012 | −7 kWh |
| Cottingham | 992 | −27 kWh |
| Hessle | 997 | −22 kWh |
| Willerby, Anlaby and Kirk Ella | 992 | −27 kWh |
| Barton-upon-Humber | 995 | −24 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.
