Connecting solar to the New Ollerton and Ollerton network
New Ollerton and Ollerton sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands licence area, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.

Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. 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 New Ollerton and Ollerton
A heat pump in New Ollerton and Ollerton
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: New Ollerton and Ollerton's roofs make 1,050 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,990 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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).

From April to September, 68% of a New Ollerton and Ollerton roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 780 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.
