Solar Panels in Oxfordshire
We connect homeowners across Oxfordshire with MCS-certified solar installers. A mix of the historic city of Oxford, Cotswold stone villages and rolling farmland — expect more conservation-area planning checks in the older market towns.
Solar generation in Oxfordshire
According to PVGIS irradiance data for South East England, a typical 4 kWp south-facing system in Oxfordshire generates around 3,980 kWh per year. At the April 2026 Ofgem price cap of 24.50p/kWh, that covers £975 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 Oxfordshire. At current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 8–10 years.
Local grid: SSEN Distribution (Southern)
Every solar install in Oxfordshire connects to the grid through SSEN Distribution (Southern), who require a G98 notification for systems up to 3.68 kW or G99 approval (up to 45 working days) for anything larger. Your MCS-certified installer takes care of whichever applies, included in the price.
