How Hemsworth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hemsworth. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks 39th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 9,483 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 963 kWh per kWp a year, 2.64 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £870 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £623 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Hemsworth'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 Hemsworth sits with Wakefield, 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.

Northern Powergrid and your Hemsworth connection
Hemsworth sits in Northern Powergrid's Yorkshire licence area, so Northern Powergrid is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to Northern Powergrid within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Hemsworth
A heat pump in Hemsworth
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Hemsworth make about 200 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Hemsworth comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather 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 Hemsworth
Hemsworth's May output, about 760 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.
If you rent, or own a flat, and have private off-street parking, the government chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 a socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above prices a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Solar in Hemsworth: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Hemsworth?
About 6,120 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Hemsworth: 963 kWh per kWp, or 2.64 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 760 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Hemsworth?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Hemsworth, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,120 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Hemsworth, and what does it need from me?
Northern Powergrid covers Hemsworth. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to Northern Powergrid within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.
What could I earn from exporting in Hemsworth?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Hemsworth sends about 5,188 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £623. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Hemsworth get in December?
December is the low point: about 200 kWh from a 12-panel system in Hemsworth, on PVGIS data, rising to 760 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,020 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Hemsworth compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Hemsworth.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Hemsworth |
|---|---|---|
| Hemsworth | 963 | this town |
| South Kirkby | 960 | −3 kWh |
| South Elmsall | 966 | +3 kWh |
| Cudworth and Shafton | 964 | +1 kWh |
| Royston (Barnsley) | 959 | −4 kWh |
| Featherstone | 965 | +2 kWh |
| Thurnscoe | 955 | −8 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.

Guides worth reading before your call
Sourced, dated and written by us. The same ground we cover on your free call.
Do you need planning permission for solar panels? Usually not
Usually not, provided the installation stays within the limits updated on 27 August 2026.

The sourced timeline, the warranty position, and the owner's checklist for this month.
Read the guide →Charging an EV from your own solar
Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.
Read the guide →Are heat pumps worth it? The real 2026 numbers
Electricity costs 3.3x gas per kWh. A heat pump is about 3x as efficient. The numbers nearly cancel out.
Read the guide →Why tariff choice moves payback more than kit choice
Identical kit, five times the export income. The tariff decision worked through with August 2026 rates.

Solar work is notifiable. A competent person scheme means your installation team notifies, not you.
