How St Neots compares
Among the places we publish figures for, St Neots is one of 5 Huntingdonshire towns we track, and it ranks 5th of 5 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 34,758 residents, and its roofs see 2.81 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,525 kWh of generation, of which around 5,589 kWh is exported at 12p for £671 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on St Neots' 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 Huntingdonshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes St Neots 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for St Neots' own coordinates (52.2229, -0.27067), 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.
The network operator for St Neots
St Neots sits in UK Power Networks' East England licence area, so UK Power Networks is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, UK Power Networks only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in St Neots
A heat pump in St Neots
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In St Neots, a 12-panel system makes about 240 kWh in December and 250 kWh in January, a fraction of its 790 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
In England, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump and £2,500 towards an air-to-air one, with £1,500 more until March 2027 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in St Neots
St Neots' July output, about 790 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.

Is solar more expensive in St Neots?

Which DNO covers St Neots, and what does it need from me?
UK Power Networks covers St Neots. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to UK Power Networks within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. 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.
What could I earn from exporting in St Neots?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in St Neots sends about 5,589 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £671. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does St Neots get in December?
December is the low point: about 240 kWh from a 12-panel system in St Neots, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,140 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How St Neots compares with its neighbours
