How Kingsteignton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Kingsteignton. It is one of 23 Devon towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 23 for solar yield, a town of 12,286 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,063 kWh per kWp a year, 2.91 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £946 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £699 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Kingsteignton'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.
Teignbridge is the planning authority covering Kingsteignton, which the House of Commons Library classes 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Kingsteignton's own coordinates (50.55038, -3.59577), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate; the methodology is on our help page.
Who runs the grid in Kingsteignton
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Kingsteignton is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the South West England licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Kingsteignton
A heat pump in Kingsteignton
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Kingsteignton make about 1,160 kWh, against 3,180 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 Kingsteignton
From April to September, 68% of a Kingsteignton roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 830 kWh in May 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.
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).

Common questions about solar in Kingsteignton
What does a solar panel system produce in Kingsteignton?
Each kWp of panels in Kingsteignton makes 1,063 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,760 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 830 kWh in May.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Kingsteignton?
£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 Kingsteignton differs is output: about 6,760 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Kingsteignton need approval from the network operator?
Kingsteignton is on National Grid Electricity Distribution's network (South West England licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much would export pay on a system in Kingsteignton?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,824 kWh of the 6,760 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Kingsteignton goes to the grid, around £699 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Kingsteignton in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Kingsteignton 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 Kingsteignton compares with its neighbours
