Against Great Britain as a whole: Bradford-on-Avon makes 1,020 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Bradford-on-Avon is 10% above it.
How Bradford-on-Avon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Bradford-on-Avon. It is one of 20 Wiltshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 20 for solar yield, a town of 10,017 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,020 kWh per kWp a year, 2.80 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £913 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £666 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Bradford-on-Avon'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 Bradford-on-Avon sits with Wiltshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

The network operator for Bradford-on-Avon
On NESO's licence-area map, Bradford-on-Avon is in Southern England, which Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) operates. That makes SSEN the network operator for any system fitted here.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to SSEN within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Bradford-on-Avon
A heat pump in Bradford-on-Avon
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Bradford-on-Avon make about 220 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Bradford-on-Avon comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather 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 Bradford-on-Avon
Bradford-on-Avon's July output, about 800 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.
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 in Bradford-on-Avon: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Bradford-on-Avon?
About 6,490 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Bradford-on-Avon: 1,020 kWh per kWp, or 2.80 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 800 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Bradford-on-Avon?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Bradford-on-Avon, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,490 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Bradford-on-Avon, and what does it need from me?
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) covers Bradford-on-Avon. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to SSEN within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.
What could I earn from exporting in Bradford-on-Avon?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Bradford-on-Avon sends about 5,551 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £666. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Bradford-on-Avon get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Bradford-on-Avon, on PVGIS data, rising to 800 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,090 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
