How Broughton Astley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Broughton Astley. It is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 9th of 26 for solar yield, a town of 10,175 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 991 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 £891 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £644 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Broughton Astley'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 Broughton Astley sits with Harborough, 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 Broughton Astley's own coordinates (52.52975, -1.22322), 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.
NGED and your Broughton Astley connection
On NESO's licence-area map, Broughton Astley is in East Midlands, which National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) operates. That makes NGED the network operator for any system fitted here.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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 Broughton Astley
A heat pump in Broughton Astley
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Broughton Astley, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 230 kWh in January, a fraction of its 780 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Broughton Astley
Broughton Astley's July output, about 780 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.
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.

Is solar more expensive in Broughton Astley?

Which DNO covers Broughton Astley, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Broughton Astley. 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 could I earn from exporting in Broughton Astley?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Broughton Astley sends about 5,366 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £644. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Broughton Astley get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Broughton Astley, on PVGIS data, rising to 780 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,060 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
