How Codsall compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Codsall. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 38th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 12,399 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 947 kWh per kWp a year, 2.60 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £857 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £610 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 Codsall's own yield.
Codsall sits within South Staffordshire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a 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.

Connecting solar to the Codsall network
Codsall sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's West Midlands licence area, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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 Codsall
A heat pump in Codsall
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Codsall's roofs make 1,010 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,860 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Codsall
A 12-panel roof in Codsall makes about 750 kWh in May. A typical home uses around 70 kWh of that in daylight (the calculator's typical-use settings), which leaves most of the month's output for an EV or for export.
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 Codsall: your questions answered
What could a roof in Codsall generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Codsall at 947 kWh per kWp a year, 2.60 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,020 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Codsall?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Codsall differs is output: about 6,020 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Codsall?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Codsall, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval first. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Codsall?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,086 kWh of the 6,020 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Codsall goes to the grid, around £610 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Codsall?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Codsall 33.4 kWh per kWp in December and 34 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 210 kWh and 220 kWh in those months, against 750 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Codsall 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 Codsall |
|---|---|---|
| Codsall | 947 | this town |
| Perton | 960 | +13 kWh |
| Wolverhampton | 948 | +1 kWh |
| Wombourne | 953 | +6 kWh |
| Bilston | 955 | +8 kWh |
| Willenhall | 962 | +15 kWh |
| Sedgley | 948 | +1 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.
