How Batley compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Batley is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 80th of 122 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 45,814 residents, and its roofs see 2.58 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,004 kWh of generation, of which around 5,067 kWh is exported at 12p for £608 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Batley'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 Batley sits with Kirklees, 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 Batley's own coordinates (53.72182, -1.6436), 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 Batley
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Batley is Northern Powergrid, which runs the 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.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Batley
A heat pump in Batley
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Batley, a 12-panel system makes about 190 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.
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 Batley
Batley's May output, about 760 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.
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 Batley: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Batley?
Batley averages 2.58 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 944 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,000 kWh, 69% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Batley?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Batley, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,000 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Batley, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Northern Powergrid. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Batley?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Batley sends about 5,067 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £608. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Batley in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Batley: about 190 kWh from 12 panels, against 760 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Batley compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Batley |
|---|---|---|
| Batley | 944 | this town |
| Heckmondwike | 940 | −4 kWh |
| Gomersal and Birkenshaw | 941 | −3 kWh |
| Morley | 947 | +3 kWh |
| Dewsbury | 952 | +8 kWh |
| Liversedge | 931 | −13 kWh |
| Cleckheaton | 932 | −12 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.
