How Goole compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Goole. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks 11th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 20,937 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 982 kWh per kWp a year, 2.69 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £884 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £637 from export at 12p.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Goole's own yield.
East Riding of Yorkshire is the planning authority covering Goole, 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.

Who runs the grid in Goole
Goole is served by Northern Powergrid: the town's centre falls inside its Yorkshire 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 Northern Powergrid within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Goole
A heat pump in Goole
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Goole make about 1,020 kWh, against 3,010 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
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 Goole
A 12-panel roof in Goole makes about 800 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.
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).

Solar in Goole: your questions answered
What does a solar panel system produce in Goole?
Each kWp of panels in Goole makes 982 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,250 kWh, from about 210 kWh in December up to 800 kWh in May.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Goole?
£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 Goole differs is output: about 6,250 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Goole need approval from the network operator?
Goole is on Northern Powergrid's network (Yorkshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much would export pay on a system in Goole?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,309 kWh of the 6,250 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Goole goes to the grid, around £637 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 Goole in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Goole roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,020 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Goole compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Goole.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Goole |
|---|---|---|
| Goole | 982 | this town |
| Thorne | 969 | −13 kWh |
| Selby | 966 | −16 kWh |
| Dunscroft and Hatfield | 978 | −4 kWh |
| Brough and Elloughton | 978 | −4 kWh |
| Scunthorpe | 985 | +3 kWh |
| Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe | 971 | −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.
