How Brimington compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Brimington. It is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 22nd of 28 for solar yield, a town of 11,521 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 954 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £863 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £616 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Brimington'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.
Any planning application in Brimington sits with Chesterfield, 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Brimington's own coordinates (53.24986, -1.39372), 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.
The network operator for Brimington
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Brimington 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 Brimington
A heat pump in Brimington
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Brimington, a 12-panel system makes about 190 kWh in December and 210 kWh in January, a fraction of its 760 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Brimington
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Brimington make about 760 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.
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).

Common questions about solar in Brimington
How much electricity do solar panels make in Brimington?
About 6,070 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Brimington: 954 kWh per kWp, or 2.61 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 760 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Brimington?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Brimington, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,070 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Brimington, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Brimington. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Brimington?
Around £616 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,131 kWh a 12-panel system in Brimington exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Brimington get in December?
December is the low point: about 190 kWh from a 12-panel system in Brimington, on PVGIS data, rising to 760 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 980 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Brimington compares with its neighbours

| Staveley | 957 | +3 kWh |
| Chesterfield | 957 | +3 kWh |
| Bolsover | 962 | +8 kWh |
| North Wingfield and Holmewood | 954 | level |
| Dronfield | 954 | level |
| Clowne | 972 | +18 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.
