How Baildon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Baildon. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 98th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 17,108 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 931 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 £845 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £598 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Baildon'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.
Planning applications here go through Bradford; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Baildon as a 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Baildon's own coordinates (53.84851, -1.76891), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate; the methodology is on our help page.
The network operator for Baildon
Northern Powergrid owns and runs the local electricity network in Baildon, as part of its Yorkshire licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Baildon
A heat pump in Baildon
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Baildon make about 190 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Baildon comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
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 Baildon
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Baildon 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.
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).

Baildon solar questions
How much electricity do solar panels make in Baildon?
About 5,920 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Baildon: 931 kWh per kWp, or 2.55 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 760 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Baildon?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Baildon, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 5,920 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Baildon, and what does it need from me?
Northern Powergrid covers Baildon. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to Northern Powergrid within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Baildon?
Around £598 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 4,984 kWh a 12-panel system in Baildon 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 Baildon get in December?
December is the low point: about 190 kWh from a 12-panel system in Baildon, on PVGIS data, rising to 760 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 960 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
