How Huntingdon compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Huntingdon is one of 5 Huntingdonshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 1st of 5 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 26,430 residents, and its roofs see 2.85 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,608 kWh of generation, of which around 5,671 kWh is exported at 12p for £681 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Huntingdon's own yield, and prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Huntingdonshire is the planning authority covering Huntingdon, which the House of Commons Library classes as a medium 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 Huntingdon
On NESO's licence-area map, Huntingdon is in East England, which UK Power Networks operates. That makes UK Power Networks the network operator for any system fitted here.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to UK Power Networks within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for 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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Huntingdon
A heat pump in Huntingdon
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Huntingdon make about 1,160 kWh, against 3,080 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 Huntingdon
From April to September, 67% of a Huntingdon roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 800 kWh in July on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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.

Huntingdon solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Huntingdon?
Each kWp of panels in Huntingdon makes 1,039 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,610 kWh, from about 250 kWh in December up to 800 kWh in July.
How much are solar panels in Huntingdon?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Huntingdon before a battery. What Huntingdon changes is the return, about 6,610 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Huntingdon need approval from the network operator?
Huntingdon is on UK Power Networks' network (East England licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: UK Power Networks is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. 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. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Huntingdon?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Huntingdon exports about 5,671 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £681; 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 Huntingdon in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 67% of a Huntingdon roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,160 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Huntingdon compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Huntingdon compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Huntingdon |
|---|---|---|
| Huntingdon | 1,039 | this town |
| Godmanchester | 1,039 | level |
| St Ives | 1,038 | −1 kWh |
| St Neots | 1,026 | −13 kWh |
| Cambourne | 1,036 | −3 kWh |
| Chatteris | 1,033 | −6 kWh |
| Yaxley | 1,030 | −9 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.
