Solar Design Havering
Energy Usage
Your daily energy consumption determines the optimal solar system size for your home in Havering. Whilst typical Havering households consume 15 kWh daily, homes with good insulation and modern appliances often use far less energy.
Before installing solar it is often a good investment to first look to reduce your energy consumption where possible. This can be done through improved insulation, and energy efficient appliances.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Havering:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
A 3.9kW solar system would typically cover your average daily electricity consumption. Optimal sizing ranges from 5.9kW to 7.9kW to accommodate daily and seasonal generation variations.
A 6.6 kW system in Havering generates approximately 24.8 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 2.08 kWh/kW/day in December to 4.63 kWh/kW/day in August.
Solar & Energy Savings
Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings
Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.
How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills
The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).
Battery Storage Havering
Solar Battery Sizing
A 6.6 kW solar-only setup in Havering delivers around 45% self-sufficiency, leaving 55% dependent on grid electricity. Installing a 10 kWh battery boosts your energy independence to around 95% per year, cutting grid dependency down to 5%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Havering
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
Solar installation costs in Havering start at approximately £8,752 for a 6.6 kW system, with a 10 kWh battery bringing the total to around £13,557. Solar installations typically pay for themselves within around 7.6 years, whilst batteries extend payback but deliver significantly higher energy independence.
Cost estimates cover equipment, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Modify the system size and battery storage sliders to explore different investment levels and payback periods.
Solar Rebates & Incentives Havering
While there are currently no federal government rebates for solar panel installations in the UK, there are still financial benefits available for solar system owners.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows you to earn money by selling excess solar electricity back to the grid. Energy suppliers with more than 150,000 customers are required to offer SEG tariffs, which pay you for the renewable electricity you export. Rates vary by supplier and are typically set competitively.
Additionally, installing solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills by generating your own renewable energy. The savings depend on your energy consumption patterns and system size, but many homeowners see substantial reductions in their energy costs.
