How Lutterworth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Lutterworth. It is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 9th of 26 for solar yield, a town of 10,967 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 991 kWh per kWp a year, 2.72 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £891 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £644 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Lutterworth'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.
Harborough is the planning authority covering Lutterworth, 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Lutterworth's own coordinates (52.45889, -1.22728), 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.
Who runs the grid in Lutterworth
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Lutterworth, as part of its East Midlands licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Lutterworth
A heat pump in Lutterworth
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Lutterworth make about 1,050 kWh, against 3,000 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more 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 Lutterworth
From April to September, 68% of a Lutterworth roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 780 kWh in July 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.
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 Lutterworth: your questions answered
What does a solar panel system produce in Lutterworth?
Each kWp of panels in Lutterworth makes 991 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,300 kWh, from about 220 kWh in December up to 780 kWh in July.
How much are solar panels in Lutterworth?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Lutterworth before a battery. What Lutterworth changes is the return, about 6,300 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Lutterworth need approval from the network operator?
Lutterworth 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 Lutterworth?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Lutterworth exports about 5,366 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £644; 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 Lutterworth in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Lutterworth roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,050 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Lutterworth compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Lutterworth compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Lutterworth |
|---|---|---|
| Lutterworth | 991 | this town |
| Broughton Astley | 991 | level |
| Rugby | 1,000 | +9 kWh |
| Countesthorpe | 996 | +5 kWh |
| Blaby and Whetstone | 993 | +2 kWh |
| Hinckley | 988 | −3 kWh |
| Enderby and Narborough | 990 | −1 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.
