How Bingham compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Bingham. It is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 29 for solar yield, a town of 11,347 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 993 kWh per kWp a year, 2.72 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £892 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £645 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Bingham'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.
Rushcliffe is the planning authority covering Bingham, which the House of Commons Library classes 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 Bingham's own coordinates (52.95136, -0.9559), 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.
Who runs the grid in Bingham
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Bingham is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the East Midlands licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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 Bingham
A heat pump in Bingham
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Bingham make about 1,060 kWh, against 3,000 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
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 Bingham
From April to September, 68% of a Bingham roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 780 kWh in May on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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.

Common questions about solar in Bingham
What does a solar panel system produce in Bingham?
Each kWp of panels in Bingham makes 993 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,320 kWh, from about 220 kWh in December up to 780 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Bingham?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Bingham before a battery. What Bingham changes is the return, about 6,320 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Bingham need approval from the network operator?
Bingham is on National Grid Electricity Distribution's network (East Midlands licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Bingham?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Bingham exports about 5,379 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £645; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Is solar worth it in Bingham in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Bingham roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,060 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Bingham compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Bingham compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Bingham |
|---|---|---|
| Bingham | 993 | this town |
| Radcliffe on Trent | 991 | −2 kWh |
| Cotgrave | 991 | −2 kWh |
| Carlton | 985 | −8 kWh |
| West Bridgford | 983 | −10 kWh |
| Keyworth | 986 | −7 kWh |
| Arnold | 976 | −17 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.

Do solar panels work in winter? Yes, just less than summer
Panels run on light, not sunshine. Cloud turns them down, not off. What that means for an awkward roof.
