How Mexborough compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Mexborough. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 31st of 122 for solar yield, a town of 16,490 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 968 kWh per kWp a year, 2.65 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £873 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £626 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Mexborough'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.
Doncaster is the planning authority covering Mexborough, 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 Mexborough's own coordinates (53.49821, -1.28387), 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 Mexborough
Mexborough 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.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Mexborough
A heat pump in Mexborough
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Mexborough make about 1,030 kWh, against 2,940 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
In England, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump and £2,500 towards an air-to-air one, with £1,500 more until March 2027 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Mexborough
A 12-panel roof in Mexborough makes about 770 kWh in May. A typical home uses around 70 kWh of that in daylight (the calculator's typical-use settings), which leaves most of the month's output for an EV or for export.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can get 75% off a chargepoint and its installation, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above adds a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Solar in Mexborough: your questions answered
What does a solar panel system produce in Mexborough?
Each kWp of panels in Mexborough makes 968 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,160 kWh, from about 210 kWh in December up to 770 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Mexborough?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Mexborough before a battery. What Mexborough changes is the return, about 6,160 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Mexborough need approval from the network operator?
Mexborough is on Northern Powergrid's network (Yorkshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Mexborough?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Mexborough exports about 5,220 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £626; 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 Mexborough in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Mexborough roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,030 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Mexborough compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Mexborough compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Mexborough |
|---|---|---|
| Mexborough | 968 | this town |
| Swinton (Rotherham) | 956 | −12 kWh |
| Conisbrough | 979 | +11 kWh |
| Goldthorpe | 955 | −13 kWh |
| Wath upon Dearne | 954 | −14 kWh |
| Thurnscoe | 955 | −13 kWh |
| Rawmarsh | 956 | −12 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.
