How Kingswinford compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Kingswinford is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 34th of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 52,597 residents, and its roofs see 2.60 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,036 kWh of generation, of which around 5,099 kWh is exported at 12p for £612 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Kingswinford'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 Kingswinford sits with Dudley, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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 Kingswinford's own coordinates (52.49371, -2.15891), 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 Kingswinford
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Kingswinford is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the West Midlands licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Kingswinford
A heat pump in Kingswinford
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Kingswinford make about 190 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Kingswinford comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
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 Kingswinford
Kingswinford's May output, about 750 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.
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).

Solar in Kingswinford: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Kingswinford?
Kingswinford averages 2.60 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 949 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,040 kWh, 69% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Kingswinford?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Kingswinford, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,040 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Kingswinford, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED). Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Kingswinford?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Kingswinford sends about 5,099 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £612. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Kingswinford in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Kingswinford: about 190 kWh from 12 panels, against 750 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Kingswinford compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Kingswinford compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.

| Sedgley | 948 | −1 kWh |
| Dudley | 956 | +7 kWh |
| Stourbridge | 949 | level |
| Wombourne | 953 | +4 kWh |
| Cradley Heath | 947 | −2 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
