How Coseley compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Coseley is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 21st of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 26,047 residents, and its roofs see 2.62 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,087 kWh of generation, of which around 5,150 kWh is exported at 12p for £618 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Coseley'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.
Coseley sits within Dudley, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a medium 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 Coseley network
Coseley is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED): the town's centre falls inside its West Midlands licence area on NESO's boundary map.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to NGED within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Coseley
A heat pump in Coseley
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Coseley's roofs make 1,000 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,900 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Coseley
From April to September, 68% of a Coseley roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 750 kWh in July on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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).

Coseley solar questions
What could a roof in Coseley generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Coseley at 957 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,090 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Coseley?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Coseley before a battery. What Coseley changes is the return, about 6,090 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Coseley?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Coseley, 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 can I earn from exporting solar in Coseley?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Coseley exports about 5,150 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £618; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Do solar panels work in winter in Coseley?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Coseley 33 kWh per kWp in December and 35 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 210 kWh and 220 kWh in those months, against 750 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
