How Histon and Impington compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Histon and Impington. It is one of 11 Cambridgeshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 2nd of 11 for solar yield, a town of 7,904 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,037 kWh per kWp a year, 2.84 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £926 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £679 from export at 12p.
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 Histon and Impington's own yield.
Any planning application in Histon and Impington sits with South Cambridgeshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

UK Power Networks and your Histon and Impington connection
On NESO's licence-area map, Histon and Impington is in East England, which UK Power Networks operates. That makes UK Power Networks the network operator for any system fitted here.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to UK Power Networks within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Histon and Impington
A heat pump in Histon and Impington
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Histon and Impington make about 240 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Histon and Impington 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 Histon and Impington
Histon and Impington's July output, about 790 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
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.

Common questions about solar in Histon and Impington
How much electricity do solar panels make in Histon and Impington?
About 6,600 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Histon and Impington: 1,037 kWh per kWp, or 2.84 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 790 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Histon and Impington?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Histon and Impington, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,600 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Histon and Impington, and what does it need from me?
UK Power Networks covers Histon and Impington. 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 could I earn from exporting in Histon and Impington?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Histon and Impington sends about 5,659 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £679. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Histon and Impington get in December?
December is the low point: about 240 kWh from a 12-panel system in Histon and Impington, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,150 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Histon and Impington 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 Histon and Impington |
|---|---|---|
| Histon and Impington | 1,037 | this town |
| Cambridge | 1,037 | level |
| Cambourne | 1,036 | −1 kWh |
| St Ives | 1,038 | +1 kWh |
| Soham | 1,037 | level |
| Ely | 1,029 | −8 kWh |
| Newmarket | 1,032 | −5 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.
