How Hazel Grove compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hazel Grove. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 36th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 20,795 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 880 kWh per kWp a year, 2.41 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £806 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £559 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Hazel Grove's own PVGIS figure; change the panels, the battery or the export rate and it reruns. The design call replaces every assumption with your roof and your bills.
Hazel Grove sits within Stockport, 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 Hazel Grove network
Hazel Grove is served by Electricity North West: the town's centre falls inside its North West England 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 Electricity North West within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Hazel Grove
A heat pump in Hazel Grove
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Hazel Grove's roofs make 850 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,720 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 Hazel Grove
A 12-panel roof in Hazel Grove makes about 720 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.
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 Hazel Grove
What could a roof in Hazel Grove generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Hazel Grove at 880 kWh per kWp a year, 2.41 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 5,600 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Hazel Grove?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Hazel Grove before a battery. What Hazel Grove changes is the return, about 5,600 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Hazel Grove?
Usually not in advance. Electricity North West, the network operator for Hazel Grove, 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. 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. "See our DNO explainer.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Hazel Grove?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Hazel Grove exports about 4,660 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £559; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Do solar panels work in winter in Hazel Grove?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Hazel Grove 26.6 kWh per kWp in December and 25.5 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 170 kWh and 160 kWh in those months, against 720 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Hazel Grove 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 Hazel Grove |
|---|---|---|
| Hazel Grove | 880 | this town |
| Bramhall | 897 | +17 kWh |
| Poynton | 874 | −6 kWh |
| Marple | 866 | −14 kWh |
| Stockport | 882 | +2 kWh |
| Cheadle Hulme | 897 | +17 kWh |
| Romiley | 873 | −7 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.
