Against Great Britain as a whole: Fazeley makes 970 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Fazeley is 5% above it.
How Fazeley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Fazeley. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 44 for solar yield, a town of 7,676 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 970 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £875 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £628 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Fazeley'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.
Fazeley sits within Lichfield, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Connecting solar to the Fazeley network
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Fazeley, as part of its East Midlands licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Fazeley
A heat pump in Fazeley
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Fazeley's roofs make 1,040 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,920 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme, open in England and Wales, takes £7,500 off an air source or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 off an air-to-air unit. Homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas get £1,500 more until March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Fazeley
A 12-panel roof in Fazeley makes about 760 kWh in July. 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.

Fazeley solar questions
What could a roof in Fazeley generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Fazeley at 970 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,170 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Fazeley?
£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 Fazeley differs is output: about 6,170 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Fazeley?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Fazeley, 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 would export pay on a system in Fazeley?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,233 kWh of the 6,170 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Fazeley goes to the grid, around £628 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Fazeley?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Fazeley 34.5 kWh per kWp in December and 36.4 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 230 kWh in those months, against 760 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Fazeley compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Fazeley compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Fazeley |
|---|---|---|
| Fazeley | 970 | this town |
| Tamworth | 973 | +3 kWh |
| Polesworth and Dordon | 974 | +4 kWh |
| Royal Sutton Coldfield | 968 | −2 kWh |
| Lichfield | 973 | +3 kWh |
| Streetly | 965 | −5 kWh |
| Atherstone | 981 | +11 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
