How Inverurie compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Inverurie. It is one of 5 Aberdeenshire towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 5 for solar yield, a town of 15,045 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 883 kWh per kWp a year, 2.42 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £809 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £562 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Inverurie'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.
Planning applications here go through Aberdeenshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Inverurie 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.

The network operator for Inverurie
On NESO's licence-area map, Inverurie is in North Scotland, which Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) operates. That makes SSEN 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 SSEN within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Inverurie
A heat pump in Inverurie
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Inverurie make about 130 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Inverurie comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500 on top, and £1,500 more for rural and island homes (Home Energy Scotland, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Inverurie
Inverurie's May output, about 780 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.

Solar panel servicing and repair in Inverurie
If a system in Inverurie is underperforming, start with the guides below: repair benchmarks, service scope, and the inverter question.
Inverurie solar questions
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Inverurie?
Inverurie averages 2.42 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 883 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 5,620 kWh, 71% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Inverurie?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Inverurie, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 5,620 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Inverurie, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). 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. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Inverurie?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Inverurie sends about 4,679 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £562. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Inverurie in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Inverurie: about 130 kWh from 12 panels, against 780 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Inverurie 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 Inverurie |
|---|---|---|
| Inverurie | 883 | this town |
| Ellon | 919 | +36 kWh |
| Aberdeen | 903 | +20 kWh |
| Portlethen | 888 | +5 kWh |
| Stonehaven | 907 | +24 kWh |
| Peterhead | 876 | −7 kWh |
| Fraserburgh | 910 | +27 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.
