Against Great Britain as a whole: Banbury makes 1,013 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Banbury is 10% above it.
How Banbury compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Banbury is one of 10 Oxfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 10 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 56,457 residents, and its roofs see 2.78 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,443 kWh of generation, of which around 5,506 kWh is exported at 12p for £661 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Banbury's own yield.
Any planning application in Banbury sits with Cherwell, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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 Banbury's own coordinates (52.06371, -1.34089), 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 Banbury
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Banbury, as part of its West Midlands licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Banbury
A heat pump in Banbury
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Banbury, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 250 kWh in January, a fraction of its 780 kWh in July, 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 Banbury
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Banbury make about 780 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.
If you rent, or own a flat, and have private off-street parking, the government chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 a socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above prices a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Solar in Banbury: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Banbury?
About 6,440 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Banbury: 1,013 kWh per kWp, or 2.78 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 780 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Banbury?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Banbury, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,440 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Banbury, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Banbury. 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 Banbury?
Around £661 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,506 kWh a 12-panel system in Banbury 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 Banbury get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Banbury, on PVGIS data, rising to 780 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,100 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Banbury compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Banbury.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Banbury |
|---|---|---|
| Banbury | 1,013 | this town |
| Brackley | 1,016 | +3 kWh |
| Southam | 1,005 | −8 kWh |
| Bicester | 1,020 | +7 kWh |
| Wellesbourne | 1,003 | −10 kWh |
| Daventry | 1,012 | −1 kWh |
| Towcester | 1,022 | +9 kWh |
Same PVGIS v5.2 query for every town. Small differences are within year-to-year weather; more than about 30 kWh per kWp apart is geography.
