How Coalville compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Coalville. It is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 23rd of 26 for solar yield, a town of 23,422 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 979 kWh per kWp a year, 2.68 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £882 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £635 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 Coalville's own yield.
Any planning application in Coalville sits with North West Leicestershire, 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 Coalville's own coordinates (52.72312, -1.35737), 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 Coalville
Coalville sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands licence area, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Coalville
A heat pump in Coalville
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Coalville make about 220 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Coalville 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 Coalville
Coalville's May output, about 770 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.

Common questions about solar in Coalville
How much electricity do solar panels make in Coalville?
About 6,230 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Coalville: 979 kWh per kWp, or 2.68 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 770 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Coalville?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Coalville, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,230 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Coalville, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Coalville. 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 Coalville?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Coalville sends about 5,290 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £635. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Coalville get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Coalville, on PVGIS data, rising to 770 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,040 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Coalville compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Coalville compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Coalville |
|---|---|---|
| Coalville | 979 | this town |
| Whitwick | 979 | level |
| Shepshed | 986 | +7 kWh |
| Ashby-de-la-Zouch | 982 | +3 kWh |
| Loughborough | 989 | +10 kWh |
| Woodville | 971 | −8 kWh |
| Castle Donington | 991 | +12 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.
