How Maltby compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Maltby. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 18th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 16,667 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 977 kWh per kWp a year, 2.68 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £880 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £633 from export at 12p.
Every figure here assumes a clear, south-facing roof at 35 degrees. Yours will differ, which is what the free design call is for; until then, the calculator below tests panels, batteries and export rates on Maltby's own yield.
Any planning application in Maltby sits with Rotherham, 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 Maltby's own coordinates (53.4253, -1.20321), 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.
Northern Powergrid and your Maltby connection
Maltby 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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Maltby
A heat pump in Maltby
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Maltby make about 210 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Maltby 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 Maltby
Maltby's May output, about 780 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 Maltby: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Maltby?
Maltby averages 2.68 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 977 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,210 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Maltby?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Maltby, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,210 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Maltby, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Northern Powergrid. 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. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Maltby?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Maltby sends about 5,277 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £633. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Maltby in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Maltby: about 210 kWh from 12 panels, against 780 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
