How Hoo St Werburgh compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hoo St Werburgh. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 22nd of 44 for solar yield, a town of 9,731 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,057 kWh per kWp a year, 2.90 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £941 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £694 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 Hoo St Werburgh's own yield.
Any planning application in Hoo St Werburgh sits with Medway, 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 Hoo St Werburgh connection
UK Power Networks owns and runs the local electricity network in Hoo St Werburgh, as part of its South East England licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means UK Power Networks is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
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 Hoo St Werburgh
A heat pump in Hoo St Werburgh
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Hoo St Werburgh, a 12-panel system makes about 250 kWh in December and 250 kWh in January, a fraction of its 830 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Hoo St Werburgh
Hoo St Werburgh's July output, about 830 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.
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).

Solar in Hoo St Werburgh: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Hoo St Werburgh?
Hoo St Werburgh averages 2.90 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,057 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,720 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Hoo St Werburgh?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Hoo St Werburgh, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,720 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Hoo St Werburgh, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is UK Power Networks. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. 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. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Hoo St Werburgh?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Hoo St Werburgh sends about 5,786 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £694. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Hoo St Werburgh in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Hoo St Werburgh: about 250 kWh from 12 panels, against 830 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
