Against Great Britain as a whole: Woking makes 1,019 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Woking is 10% above it.
How Woking compares
Woking is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks joint 33rd of 47 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 77,056 people. At 1,019 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.0 years on the 12p scenario: £912 of year one benefit against £6,360 installed, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Woking's own yield.
Woking 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.

UK Power Networks and your Woking connection
On NESO's licence-area map, Woking is in South East England, which UK Power Networks operates. That makes UK Power Networks the network operator for any system fitted here.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to UK Power Networks within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Woking
A heat pump in Woking
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Woking, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 250 kWh in January, a fraction of its 800 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Woking
Woking's July output, about 800 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.
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).

Solar panel servicing and repair in Woking
If a system in Woking is underperforming, start with the guides below: repair benchmarks, service scope, and the inverter question.
Solar in Woking: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Woking?
Woking averages 2.79 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,019 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,480 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Woking?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Woking, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,480 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Woking, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is UK Power Networks. 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. 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. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Woking?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Woking sends about 5,544 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £665. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Woking in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Woking: about 220 kWh from 12 panels, against 800 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Woking compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Woking.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Woking |
|---|---|---|
| Woking | 1,019 | this town |
| West End and Chobham | 1,025 | +6 kWh |
| West Byfleet, Sheerwater and New Haw | 1,026 | +7 kWh |
| Guildford | 1,028 | +9 kWh |
| Addlestone | 1,024 | +5 kWh |
| Byfleet | 1,024 | +5 kWh |
| Chertsey | 1,025 | +6 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
