How Ledbury compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Ledbury. It is one of 4 Herefordshire towns we track, and it ranks 1st of 4 for solar yield, a town of 8,295 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,006 kWh per kWp a year, 2.76 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £902 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £655 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Ledbury'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.
Any planning application in Ledbury sits with County of Herefordshire, 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 Ledbury's own coordinates (52.03616, -2.42891), 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 Ledbury
Ledbury sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's West 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.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: 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 Ledbury
A heat pump in Ledbury
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Ledbury make about 230 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Ledbury 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 Ledbury
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Ledbury make about 790 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
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.

Ledbury solar questions
How much electricity do solar panels make in Ledbury?
About 6,400 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Ledbury: 1,006 kWh per kWp, or 2.76 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 790 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Ledbury?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Ledbury, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,400 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Ledbury, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Ledbury. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Ledbury?
Around £655 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,461 kWh a 12-panel system in Ledbury exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Ledbury get in December?
December is the low point: about 230 kWh from a 12-panel system in Ledbury, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,090 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
