How Burton Latimer compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Burton Latimer. It is one of 16 Northamptonshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 10,743 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,021 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 £914 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £667 from export at 12p.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Burton Latimer's own yield.
Any planning application in Burton Latimer sits with North Northamptonshire, 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.

NGED and your Burton Latimer connection
Burton Latimer is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED): the town's centre falls inside its East Midlands licence area on NESO's boundary map.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Burton Latimer
A heat pump in Burton Latimer
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Burton Latimer make about 240 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Burton Latimer 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 Burton Latimer
Burton Latimer's July output, about 790 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 Burton Latimer: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Burton Latimer?
About 6,490 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Burton Latimer: 1,021 kWh per kWp, or 2.80 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 790 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Burton Latimer?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Burton Latimer, 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 Burton Latimer, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Burton Latimer. 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 Burton Latimer?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Burton Latimer sends about 5,557 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £667. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Burton Latimer get in December?
December is the low point: about 240 kWh from a 12-panel system in Burton Latimer, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,120 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Burton Latimer 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 Burton Latimer |
|---|---|---|
| Burton Latimer | 1,021 | this town |
| Kettering | 1,022 | +1 kWh |
| Irthlingborough | 1,021 | level |
| Wellingborough | 1,022 | +1 kWh |
| Higham Ferrers | 1,024 | +3 kWh |
| Raunds | 1,031 | +10 kWh |
| Rushden | 1,026 | +5 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
