South East England
Solar Panels in Surrey
We connect homeowners across Surrey with MCS-certified solar installers. The North Downs and Surrey Hills bring more wooded, hillier terrain than neighbouring counties, but the dense stockbroker-belt housing around Guildford and Woking still gives strong roof exposure overall.
Solar generation in Surrey
Using PVGIS irradiance data for South East England, a 4 kWp south-facing array in Surrey produces roughly 4,000 kWh per year. At the April 2026 Ofgem price cap of 24.50p/kWh, that covers £980 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 Surrey. At current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 8–10 years.
Local grid: UK Power Networks (South East)
Anywhere in Surrey, the grid connection for a new system goes via UK Power Networks (South East). Smaller systems (up to 3.68 kW) just need a G98 notification, while bigger ones need G99 approval — allow up to 45 working days for that. Either way, it's your MCS-certified installer's job, not an added fee.
About Surrey
Even so, the dense detached and semi-detached housing common here still gives strong overall roof exposure. The Surrey Hills AONB and the stockbroker-belt towns around Guildford and Woking make Surrey more wooded and hillier than its South East neighbours.

How long is the payback period for solar in Surrey?+
A typical 4 kWp system with a 5 kWh battery costs £7,000–£11,000 installed. On Surrey's 1000 kWh-per-kWp yield and current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 8–10 years, and Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments on surplus exported energy reduce that further.
