Stockton-on-Tees is its own local planning authority area, and its House of Commons Library settlement class is large 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 Stockton-on-Tees' own coordinates (54.57214, -1.32944), 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 Stockton-on-Tees
Northern Powergrid owns and runs the local electricity network in Stockton-on-Tees, as part of its North 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 Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Stockton-on-Tees
A heat pump in Stockton-on-Tees
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Stockton-on-Tees, a 12-panel system makes about 190 kWh in December and 210 kWh in January, a fraction of its 770 kWh in May, 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 Stockton-on-Tees
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Stockton-on-Tees make about 770 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can get 75% off a chargepoint and its installation, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above adds a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Common questions about solar in Stockton-on-Tees
How much electricity do solar panels make in Stockton-on-Tees?
About 6,010 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Stockton-on-Tees: 945 kWh per kWp, or 2.59 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 770 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Stockton-on-Tees?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Stockton-on-Tees, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,010 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Stockton-on-Tees, and what does it need from me?
Northern Powergrid covers Stockton-on-Tees. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to Northern Powergrid within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Stockton-on-Tees?
Around £609 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,074 kWh a 12-panel system in Stockton-on-Tees exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Stockton-on-Tees get in December?
December is the low point: about 190 kWh from a 12-panel system in Stockton-on-Tees, on PVGIS data, rising to 770 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 980 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
