How Bingley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Bingley. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 105th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 21,676 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 924 kWh per kWp a year, 2.53 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £840 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £593 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Bingley'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.
Bradford is the planning authority covering Bingley, 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.

Who runs the grid in Bingley
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Bingley is Northern Powergrid, which runs the Yorkshire licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, Northern Powergrid 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. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Bingley
A heat pump in Bingley
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Bingley make about 920 kWh, against 2,860 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more 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 Bingley
From April to September, 69% of a Bingley roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 760 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.
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).

Bingley solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Bingley?
Each kWp of panels in Bingley makes 924 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 5,880 kWh, from about 180 kWh in December up to 760 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Bingley?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Bingley before a battery. What Bingley changes is the return, about 5,880 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Bingley need approval from the network operator?
Bingley is on Northern Powergrid's network (Yorkshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Bingley?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Bingley exports about 4,940 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £593; 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 Bingley in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Bingley roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 920 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
