How Bloxwich compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Bloxwich is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 18th of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 54,368 residents, and its roofs see 2.62 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,093 kWh of generation, of which around 5,156 kWh is exported at 12p for £619 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 Bloxwich'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.
Bloxwich sits within Walsall, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Connecting solar to the Bloxwich network
Bloxwich is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED): the town's centre falls inside its West Midlands licence area on NESO's boundary map.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to NGED within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Bloxwich
A heat pump in Bloxwich
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Bloxwich's roofs make 1,030 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,890 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Bloxwich
From April to September, 68% of a Bloxwich roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 750 kWh in July 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.
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 Bloxwich: your questions answered
What could a roof in Bloxwich generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Bloxwich at 958 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,090 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Bloxwich?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Bloxwich differs is output: about 6,090 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Bloxwich?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Bloxwich, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval first. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Bloxwich?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,156 kWh of the 6,090 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Bloxwich goes to the grid, around £619 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Bloxwich?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Bloxwich 34.2 kWh per kWp in December and 35.2 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 220 kWh in those months, against 750 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Bloxwich 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 Bloxwich |
|---|---|---|
| Bloxwich | 958 | this town |
| Pelsall | 958 | level |
| Rushall and Shelfield | 958 | level |
| Willenhall | 962 | +4 kWh |
| Walsall | 966 | +8 kWh |
| Aldridge | 956 | −2 kWh |
| Darlaston | 962 | +4 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.
