How Melton Mowbray compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Melton Mowbray is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 26 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 28,553 residents, and its roofs see 2.74 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,360 kWh of generation, of which around 5,423 kWh is exported at 12p for £651 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 Melton Mowbray'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 Melton Mowbray sits with Melton, 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 Melton Mowbray's own coordinates (52.76584, -0.88668), 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 Melton Mowbray
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Melton Mowbray, 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.
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 Melton Mowbray
A heat pump in Melton Mowbray
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Melton Mowbray make about 220 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray's July output, about 790 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).

Which DNO covers Melton Mowbray, and what does it need from me?

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 could I earn from exporting in Melton Mowbray?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Melton Mowbray sends about 5,423 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £651. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Melton Mowbray get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Melton Mowbray, on PVGIS data, rising to 790 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,060 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
