For scale: 957 kWh per kWp in Shropshire against 925, our GB average (the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates), which puts Shropshire 3% above it.
How Shropshire compares
Shropshire ranks 35th of the 85 counties we track for solar yield, 4% below the England average of our estimates. At 2.62 peak sun hours a day the sums lean on a healthy mix: £247 of the year one benefit here comes from solar you use yourself, with export at 12p adding £618.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees in the middle of Shropshire. Yours will differ; the calculator below lets you test panels, batteries and export rates first.
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 from PVGIS v5.2 (European Commission JRC, SARAH3), retrieved August 2026 for a representative point in Shropshire (52.6424, -2.7148), assuming 1 kWp, 14% system loss, 35 degree pitch, due south. Import valued at 26.32p/kWh (Ofgem price cap average, Oct to Dec 2026); off-peak charging at 8.5p/kWh where used (a supplier's published off-peak rate, checked September 2026); export at the scenario you pick, from the dated tariff table. Prices are installed pricing, August 2026, standard installations; 530W LONGi panels at £1,000 per kWp. Estimates for illustration, not a quote: your free design call prices your actual roof.
NGED and your Shropshire connection
The centre of Shropshire sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's West Midlands licence area on NESO's boundary map, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) a system here is registered with.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to NGED within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
Parts of Shropshire are on a different network: some of its towns are served by SP Energy Networks. Each town page names its own operator, worked out from that town's own location.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Shropshire
A heat pump in Shropshire
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Shropshire, a 12-panel system makes about 200 kWh in December and 210 kWh in January, a fraction of its 760 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Shropshire
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Shropshire make about 760 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can get 75% off a chargepoint and its installation, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above adds a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Common questions about solar in Shropshire
How much electricity do solar panels make in Shropshire?
About 6,090 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Shropshire: 957 kWh per kWp, or 2.62 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 760 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Shropshire?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Shropshire, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,090 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Shropshire, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers the centre of Shropshire. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Shropshire?
Around £618 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,150 kWh a 12-panel system in Shropshire exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Shropshire get in December?
December is the low point: about 200 kWh from a 12-panel system in Shropshire, on PVGIS data, rising to 760 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 980 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
