How Yateley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Yateley. It is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 45th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 14,962 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,017 kWh per kWp a year, 2.79 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £911 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £664 from export at 12p.
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 Yateley's own yield.
Any planning application in Yateley sits with Hart, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Yateley's own coordinates (51.33631, -0.83506), 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.
SSEN and your Yateley connection
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Yateley is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), which runs the Southern 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 SSEN is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Yateley
A heat pump in Yateley
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Yateley make about 230 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Yateley comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
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 Yateley
Yateley's 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.

Solar in Yateley: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Yateley?
About 6,470 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Yateley: 1,017 kWh per kWp, or 2.79 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 790 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Yateley?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Yateley, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,470 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Yateley, and what does it need from me?
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) covers Yateley. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to SSEN within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. 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.
What could I earn from exporting in Yateley?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Yateley sends about 5,531 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £664. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Yateley get in December?
December is the low point: about 230 kWh from a 12-panel system in Yateley, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,110 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Yateley compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Yateley |
|---|---|---|
| Yateley | 1,017 | this town |
| Sandhurst | 1,016 | −1 kWh |
| Crowthorne | 1,017 | level |
| Fleet | 1,023 | +6 kWh |
| Farnborough | 1,022 | +5 kWh |
| Camberley | 1,019 | +2 kWh |
| Wokingham | 1,011 | −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.
