How Killamarsh compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Killamarsh. It is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 18th of 28 for solar yield, a town of 9,087 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 957 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £865 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £618 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Killamarsh'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.
North East Derbyshire is the planning authority covering Killamarsh, 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 Killamarsh
Killamarsh sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands licence area, so NGED 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 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 Killamarsh
A heat pump in Killamarsh
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Killamarsh make about 970 kWh, against 2,930 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
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 Killamarsh
From April to September, 69% of a Killamarsh roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 770 kWh in May on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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 Killamarsh
What does a solar panel system produce in Killamarsh?
Each kWp of panels in Killamarsh makes 957 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,090 kWh, from about 190 kWh in December up to 770 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Killamarsh?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Killamarsh before a battery. What Killamarsh changes is the return, about 6,090 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Killamarsh need approval from the network operator?
Killamarsh is on National Grid Electricity Distribution's network (East Midlands licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Killamarsh?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Killamarsh exports about 5,150 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £618; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Is solar worth it in Killamarsh in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Killamarsh roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 970 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Killamarsh 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 Killamarsh |
|---|---|---|
| Killamarsh | 957 | this town |
| Swallownest and Aston | 956 | −1 kWh |
| Clowne | 972 | +15 kWh |
| Staveley | 957 | level |
| Dinnington | 976 | +19 kWh |
| Brimington | 954 | −3 kWh |
| Brinsworth | 951 | −6 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.
