Connecting solar to the Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay network
On NESO's licence-area map, Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay is in West Midlands, which National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) operates. That makes NGED the network operator for any system fitted here.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay
A heat pump in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay's roofs make 1,020 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,880 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay
A 12-panel roof in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay makes about 750 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).

Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay solar questions
What could a roof in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay at 953 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,060 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay?
£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 Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay differs is output: about 6,060 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay, 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.
