East of England
Solar Panels in Norfolk
We connect homeowners across Norfolk with MCS-certified solar installers. Britain's flattest, most rural mainland county — very little natural shading, and its Broads and coastline see some of the driest, sunniest weather in the UK.
Solar generation in Norfolk
Drawing on PVGIS irradiance data for East of England, a south-facing 4 kWp system in Norfolk is expected to generate around 3,960 kWh per year. At the April 2026 Ofgem price cap of 24.50p/kWh, that covers £970 of electricity you would otherwise buy from the grid.
On top of bill savings, surplus energy exported to the grid earns Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments — typically 4–6p/kWh with the main suppliers, or up to 15p/kWh with specialist tariffs like Octopus Outgoing.
A typical 4 kWp system with a 5 kWh battery costs £7,000–£11,000 installed across Norfolk. At current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 8–10 years.
Local grid: UK Power Networks (East)
Across Norfolk, solar installations connect to the grid via UK Power Networks (East). A G98 notification covers anything up to 3.68 kW; larger systems need G99 approval instead, which can take up to 45 working days. Both are handled by your MCS-certified installer as standard, at no extra cost.
About Norfolk
With so little natural shading and some of the driest, sunniest weather in the UK, Norfolk's solar case is about as strong as anywhere outside the South Coast. The Norfolk Broads wetlands and the North Sea offshore wind hub at Great Yarmouth sit within Britain's flattest, most rural mainland county.
