How Corfe Mullen compares

Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Corfe Mullen. It is one of 15 Dorset towns we track, and it ranks joint 9th of 15 for solar yield, a town of 10,312 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,094 kWh per kWp a year, 3.00 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £970 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £723 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 Corfe Mullen's own yield.

Planning applications here go through Dorset; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Corfe Mullen as a small town.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Corfe Mullen's own coordinates (50.77077, -2.01761), 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.

Local grid

The network operator for Corfe Mullen

The distribution network operator (DNO) for Corfe Mullen is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), which runs the Southern England licence area.

For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means SSEN is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.

Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Corfe Mullen

A heat pump in Corfe Mullen

Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Corfe Mullen, a 12-panel system makes about 240 kWh in December and 260 kWh in January, a fraction of its 860 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.

Grant support in England 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 Corfe Mullen

Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Corfe Mullen make about 860 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.

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).

FAQs

Solar in Corfe Mullen: your questions answered

How much electricity do solar panels make in Corfe Mullen?

About 6,960 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Corfe Mullen: 1,094 kWh per kWp, or 3.00 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 860 kWh.

What does a typical solar system cost in Corfe Mullen?

Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Corfe Mullen, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,960 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.

Which DNO covers Corfe Mullen, and what does it need from me?

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) covers Corfe Mullen. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to SSEN within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

What happens to the solar I do not use in Corfe Mullen?

Around £723 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 6,021 kWh a 12-panel system in Corfe Mullen exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.

How much solar does Corfe Mullen get in December?

December is the low point: about 240 kWh from a 12-panel system in Corfe Mullen, on PVGIS data, rising to 860 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,190 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
