How Oxted compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Oxted. It is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 47 for solar yield, a town of 12,001 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,046 kWh per kWp a year, 2.87 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £933 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £686 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Oxted'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.
Oxted sits within Tandridge, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Connecting solar to the Oxted network
UK Power Networks owns and runs the local electricity network in Oxted, 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.
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 Oxted
A heat pump in Oxted
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Oxted's roofs make 1,120 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,160 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Oxted
A 12-panel roof in Oxted makes about 830 kWh in July. A typical home uses around 70 kWh of that in daylight (the calculator's typical-use settings), which leaves most of the month's output for an EV or for export.
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).

Oxted solar questions
What could a roof in Oxted generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Oxted at 1,046 kWh per kWp a year, 2.87 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,650 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Oxted?
£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 Oxted differs is output: about 6,650 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Oxted?
Usually not in advance. UK Power Networks, the network operator for Oxted, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval 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. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Oxted?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,716 kWh of the 6,650 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Oxted goes to the grid, around £686 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Oxted?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Oxted 37.4 kWh per kWp in December and 39.1 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 240 kWh and 250 kWh in those months, against 830 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Oxted 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 Oxted |
|---|---|---|
| Oxted | 1,046 | this town |
| Edenbridge | 1,050 | +4 kWh |
| Caterham | 1,031 | −15 kWh |
| Warlingham | 1,017 | −29 kWh |
| South Merstham | 1,029 | −17 kWh |
| Redhill | 1,033 | −13 kWh |
| Sevenoaks | 1,043 | −3 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.
