How Dudley compares
Dudley is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 25th of 44 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 67,484 people. At 956 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.4 years on the 12p scenario: £864 of year one benefit against £6,360 of installed hardware, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Dudley's own yield, and at Dudley's 956 kWh per kWp it 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.
Planning applications here go through Dudley; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Dudley as a large 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.

Common questions about solar in Dudley

What does a typical solar system cost in Dudley?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Dudley costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Dudley need a G99 application?
Most home solar and battery systems qualify for the simpler G98 notification, made to the network operator (DNO) after installation rather than before. A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Dudley before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Dudley?

G98 vs G99: the 28-day form and the eight-week wait, in plain English
One number on your quote decides between a formality and an eight week wait.

Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.
Read the guide →Heat pump running costs versus a gas boiler, assumptions shown
