How Street compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Street. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 21 for solar yield, a town of 12,903 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,032 kWh per kWp a year, 2.83 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £922 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £675 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Street'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.
Planning applications here go through Somerset; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Street 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.

NGED and your Street connection
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Street is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the South West 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 NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Street
A heat pump in Street
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Street, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 260 kWh in January, a fraction of its 810 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Street
Street's May output, about 810 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.
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.

Solar in Street: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Street?
Street averages 2.83 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,032 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,560 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Street?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Street, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,560 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Street, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED). Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Street?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Street sends about 5,627 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £675. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Street in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Street: about 220 kWh from 12 panels, against 810 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
