How Wokingham compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Wokingham is one of 20 Berkshire towns we track, and it ranks 19th of 20 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 53,334 residents, and its roofs see 2.77 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,430 kWh of generation, of which around 5,493 kWh is exported at 12p for £659 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 Wokingham's 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.
Wokingham is its own local planning authority area, and its 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Wokingham's own coordinates (51.4031, -0.84498), 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 Wokingham
Wokingham sits in Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks' Southern England licence area, so SSEN 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, SSEN only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Wokingham
A heat pump in Wokingham
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Wokingham make about 230 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Wokingham comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
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 Wokingham
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Wokingham make about 790 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.
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).

Common questions about solar in Wokingham
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Wokingham?
Wokingham averages 2.77 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,011 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,430 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
What does a typical solar system cost in Wokingham?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Wokingham, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,430 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Who is the network operator in Wokingham, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). 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. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Wokingham?
Around £659 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,493 kWh a 12-panel system in Wokingham exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How does solar perform in Wokingham in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Wokingham: about 230 kWh from 12 panels, against 790 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Wokingham compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Wokingham.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Wokingham |
|---|---|---|
| Wokingham | 1,011 | this town |
| Winnersh | 1,017 | +6 kWh |
| Crowthorne | 1,017 | +6 kWh |
| Bracknell | 1,008 | −3 kWh |
| Woodley | 1,021 | +10 kWh |
| Sandhurst | 1,016 | +5 kWh |
| Yateley | 1,017 | +6 kWh |
Same PVGIS v5.2 query for every town. Small differences are within year-to-year weather; more than about 30 kWh per kWp apart is geography.
