Against Great Britain as a whole: Croesoswallt makes 968 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Croesoswallt is 5% above it.
How Croesoswallt compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Croesoswallt. It is one of 9 Shropshire towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 9 for solar yield, a town of 18,166 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 968 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.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Croesoswallt's own yield, and prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Shropshire is the planning authority covering Croesoswallt, 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Croesoswallt's own coordinates (52.85636, -3.04997), 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.
Who runs the grid in Croesoswallt
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Croesoswallt is SP Energy Networks, which runs the North Wales, Merseyside and Cheshire licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, SP Energy Networks 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. 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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Croesoswallt
A heat pump in Croesoswallt
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Croesoswallt make about 1,000 kWh, against 2,960 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more 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 Croesoswallt
A 12-panel roof in Croesoswallt makes about 780 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 Croesoswallt: your questions answered
What does a solar panel system produce in Croesoswallt?
Each kWp of panels in Croesoswallt makes 968 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,160 kWh, from about 200 kWh in December up to 780 kWh in May.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Croesoswallt?
£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 Croesoswallt differs is output: about 6,160 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Croesoswallt need approval from the network operator?
Croesoswallt 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 would export pay on a system in Croesoswallt?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,220 kWh of the 6,160 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Croesoswallt goes to the grid, around £626 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Croesoswallt in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Croesoswallt roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,000 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Croesoswallt compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Croesoswallt.

| Shrewsbury | 969 | +1 kWh |
| Whitchurch | 959 | −9 kWh |
Same PVGIS v5.2 query for every town. Small differences are within year-to-year weather; more than about 30 kWh per kWp apart is geography.
