How Fleetwood compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Fleetwood is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 109 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 26,873 residents, and its roofs see 2.80 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,513 kWh of generation, of which around 5,576 kWh is exported at 12p for £669 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Fleetwood'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.
Any planning application in Fleetwood sits with Wyre, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Fleetwood's own coordinates (53.91176, -3.02976), 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.
The network operator for Fleetwood
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Fleetwood is Electricity North West, which runs the North West England licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, Electricity North West only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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 Electricity North West as it does every network operator.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Fleetwood
A heat pump in Fleetwood
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Fleetwood make about 180 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Fleetwood comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather 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 Fleetwood
Fleetwood's May output, about 870 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
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 Fleetwood: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Fleetwood?
Fleetwood averages 2.80 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,024 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,510 kWh, 70% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Fleetwood?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Fleetwood, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,510 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Fleetwood, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Electricity North West. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. 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 Electricity North West as it does every network operator. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Fleetwood?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Fleetwood sends about 5,576 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £669. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Fleetwood in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Fleetwood: about 180 kWh from 12 panels, against 870 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Fleetwood compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Fleetwood.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Fleetwood |
|---|---|---|
| Fleetwood | 1,024 | this town |
| Cleveleys | 1,029 | +5 kWh |
| Thornton | 1,030 | +6 kWh |
| Poulton-le-Fylde | 1,012 | −12 kWh |
| Blackpool | 1,025 | +1 kWh |
| Heysham | 976 | −48 kWh |
| Kirkham | 973 | −51 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.
