Against Great Britain as a whole: Nantwich makes 952 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Nantwich is 3% above it.
How Nantwich compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Nantwich. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 19,889 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 952 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £861 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £614 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 Nantwich's own yield.
Cheshire East is the planning authority covering Nantwich, 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 Nantwich's own coordinates (53.06631, -2.51817), 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 Nantwich
Nantwich is served by SP Energy Networks: the town's centre falls inside its North Wales, Merseyside and Cheshire licence area on NESO's boundary map.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to SP Energy Networks within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Nantwich
A heat pump in Nantwich
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Nantwich make about 980 kWh, against 2,900 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Nantwich
From April to September, 69% of a Nantwich roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 760 kWh in May 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).

Common questions about solar in Nantwich
What does a solar panel system produce in Nantwich?
Each kWp of panels in Nantwich makes 952 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,050 kWh, from about 200 kWh in December up to 760 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Nantwich?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Nantwich before a battery. What Nantwich changes is the return, about 6,050 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Nantwich need approval from the network operator?
Nantwich is on SP Energy Networks' network (North Wales, Merseyside and Cheshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: SP Energy Networks is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Nantwich?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Nantwich exports about 5,118 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £614; 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 Nantwich in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Nantwich roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 980 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Nantwich compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Nantwich compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Nantwich |
|---|---|---|
| Nantwich | 952 | this town |
| Crewe | 945 | −7 kWh |
| Elworth | 931 | −21 kWh |
| Sandbach | 931 | −21 kWh |
| Winsford | 946 | −6 kWh |
| Middlewich | 936 | −16 kWh |
| Alsager | 930 | −22 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.
