How Mirfield compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Mirfield. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 73rd of 122 for solar yield, a town of 20,015 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 948 kWh per kWp a year, 2.60 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £858 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £611 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Mirfield'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.
Kirklees is the planning authority covering Mirfield, 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.

Who runs the grid in Mirfield
Mirfield 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.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, Northern Powergrid only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Mirfield
A heat pump in Mirfield
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Mirfield make about 970 kWh, against 2,910 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 Mirfield
A 12-panel roof in Mirfield makes about 760 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.
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.

Common questions about solar in Mirfield
What does a solar panel system produce in Mirfield?
Each kWp of panels in Mirfield makes 948 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,030 kWh, from about 200 kWh in December up to 760 kWh in May.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Mirfield?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Mirfield differs is output: about 6,030 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Mirfield need approval from the network operator?
Mirfield 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 would export pay on a system in Mirfield?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,093 kWh of the 6,030 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Mirfield goes to the grid, around £611 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Mirfield in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Mirfield roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 970 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Mirfield compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Mirfield.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Mirfield |
|---|---|---|
| Mirfield | 948 | this town |
| Liversedge | 931 | −17 kWh |
| Heckmondwike | 940 | −8 kWh |
| Dewsbury | 952 | +4 kWh |
| Cleckheaton | 932 | −16 kWh |
| Batley | 944 | −4 kWh |
| Brighouse | 928 | −20 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
