How Alsager compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Alsager. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 19th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 17,048 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 930 kWh per kWp a year, 2.55 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £844 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £597 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Alsager's own yield, and prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Any planning application in Alsager sits with Cheshire East, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is small town.
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.

SP Energy Networks and your Alsager connection
Alsager sits in SP Energy Networks' North Wales, Merseyside and Cheshire licence area, so SP Energy Networks is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to SP Energy Networks within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Alsager
A heat pump in Alsager
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Alsager, a 12-panel system makes about 190 kWh in December and 190 kWh in January, a fraction of its 750 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme, open in England and Wales, takes £7,500 off an air source or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 off an air-to-air unit. Homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas get £1,500 more until March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Alsager
Alsager's May output, about 750 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
The calculator above includes a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed. Renters and flat owners with off-street parking can claim 75% of a chargepoint's cost, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).

Solar in Alsager: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Alsager?
About 5,910 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Alsager: 930 kWh per kWp, or 2.55 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 750 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Alsager?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Alsager, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 5,910 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Alsager, and what does it need from me?
SP Energy Networks covers Alsager. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to SP Energy Networks within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator.
What could I earn from exporting in Alsager?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Alsager sends about 4,978 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £597. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Alsager get in December?
December is the low point: about 190 kWh from a 12-panel system in Alsager, on PVGIS data, rising to 750 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 940 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Alsager compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Alsager.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Alsager |
|---|---|---|
| Alsager | 930 | this town |
| Kidsgrove | 917 | −13 kWh |
| Sandbach | 931 | +1 kWh |
| Elworth | 931 | +1 kWh |
| Biddulph | 910 | −20 kWh |
| Crewe | 945 | +15 kWh |
| Newcastle-under-Lyme | 932 | +2 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
