How Bedworth compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Bedworth is one of 19 Warwickshire towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 19 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 31,809 residents, and its roofs see 2.69 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,252 kWh of generation, of which around 5,315 kWh is exported at 12p for £638 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Bedworth's own PVGIS figure; change the panels, the battery or the export rate and it reruns. The design call replaces every assumption with your roof and your bills.
Planning applications here go through Nuneaton and Bedworth; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Bedworth as a 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.

The network operator for Bedworth
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Bedworth is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the East Midlands licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Bedworth
A heat pump in Bedworth
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Bedworth make about 220 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Bedworth 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 Bedworth
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Bedworth make about 770 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.

Solar panel servicing and repair in Bedworth
If a system in Bedworth is underperforming, start with the guides below: repair benchmarks, service scope, and the inverter question.
Bedworth solar questions
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Bedworth?
Bedworth averages 2.69 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 983 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,250 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
What does a typical solar system cost in Bedworth?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Bedworth, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,250 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Who is the network operator in Bedworth, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED). 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. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Bedworth?
Around £638 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,315 kWh a 12-panel system in Bedworth exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How does solar perform in Bedworth in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Bedworth: about 220 kWh from 12 panels, against 770 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Bedworth compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Bedworth compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Bedworth |
|---|---|---|
| Bedworth | 983 | this town |
| Nuneaton | 984 | +1 kWh |
| Coventry | 985 | +2 kWh |
| Hinckley | 988 | +5 kWh |
| Atherstone | 981 | −2 kWh |
| Barwell | 990 | +7 kWh |
| Earl Shilton | 990 | +7 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
