How Connah's Quay compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Connah's Quay. It is one of 8 Flintshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 8 for solar yield, a town of 16,667 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 967 kWh per kWp a year, 2.65 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £873 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £626 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Connah's Quay'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.
Flintshire is the planning authority covering Connah's Quay, which the House of Commons Library classes 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.

Who runs the grid in Connah's Quay
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Connah's Quay is SP Energy Networks, which runs the North Wales, Merseyside and Cheshire licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means SP Energy Networks is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Connah's Quay
A heat pump in Connah's Quay
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Connah's Quay make about 1,010 kWh, against 2,950 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
Grant support in Wales 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 Connah's Quay
A 12-panel roof in Connah's Quay makes about 790 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.
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 Connah's Quay
What does a solar panel system produce in Connah's Quay?
Each kWp of panels in Connah's Quay makes 967 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,150 kWh, from about 200 kWh in December up to 790 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Connah's Quay?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Connah's Quay before a battery. What Connah's Quay changes is the return, about 6,150 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Connah's Quay need approval from the network operator?
Connah's Quay is on SP Energy Networks' network (North Wales, Merseyside and Cheshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: SP Energy Networks is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Connah's Quay?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Connah's Quay exports about 5,213 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £626; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Is solar worth it in Connah's Quay in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Connah's Quay roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,010 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
