Against Great Britain as a whole: Haydock makes 933 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Haydock is 1% above it.
How Haydock compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Haydock. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 32nd of 109 for solar yield, a town of 16,385 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 933 kWh per kWp a year, 2.56 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £847 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £600 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 Haydock's own yield.
Any planning application in Haydock sits with St. Helens, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Haydock's own coordinates (53.47014, -2.66684), 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 Haydock
On NESO's licence-area map, Haydock is in North West England, which Electricity North West operates. That makes Electricity North West the network operator for any system fitted here.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to Electricity North West within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Haydock
A heat pump in Haydock
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Haydock, a 12-panel system makes about 180 kWh in December and 190 kWh in January, a fraction of its 770 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Haydock
Haydock's May output, about 770 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.

Common questions about solar in Haydock
How much electricity do solar panels make in Haydock?
About 5,930 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Haydock: 933 kWh per kWp, or 2.56 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 770 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Haydock?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Haydock, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 5,930 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Haydock, and what does it need from me?
Electricity North West covers Haydock. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to Electricity North West within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. 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.
What could I earn from exporting in Haydock?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Haydock sends about 4,997 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £600. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Haydock get in December?
December is the low point: about 180 kWh from a 12-panel system in Haydock, on PVGIS data, rising to 770 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 930 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Haydock compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Haydock |
|---|---|---|
| Haydock | 933 | this town |
| Newton-le-Willows | 929 | −4 kWh |
| Ashton-in-Makerfield | 930 | −3 kWh |
| St Helens | 939 | +6 kWh |
| Golborne | 929 | −4 kWh |
| Platt Bridge and Abram | 930 | −3 kWh |
| Orrell | 941 | +8 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.

Do solar panels need direct sunlight? Not really, and here is why
No. Solar cells respond to light hitting them, not to a clear line of sight to the sun.
