How Sevenoaks compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Sevenoaks is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks joint 35th of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 27,117 residents, and its roofs see 2.86 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,633 kWh of generation, of which around 5,697 kWh is exported at 12p for £684 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, defaulted to Sevenoaks's own yield, and at Sevenoaks's 1,043 kWh per kWp it 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.
Any planning application in Sevenoaks sits with Sevenoaks, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Sevenoaks?

Why your inverter is smaller than your panel array, and why that is correct
More panel capacity than inverter capacity is a deliberate design choice.

No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.
Read the guide →Charging an EV from your own solar
Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.
Read the guide →Are heat pumps worth it? The real 2026 numbers
Electricity costs 3.3x gas per kWh. A heat pump is about 3x as efficient. The numbers nearly cancel out.
