How Newark-on-Trent compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Newark-on-Trent is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 29 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 31,104 residents, and its roofs see 2.74 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,354 kWh of generation, of which around 5,417 kWh is exported at 12p for £650 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
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 Newark-on-Trent's own yield.
Newark-on-Trent sits within Newark and Sherwood, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a 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 Newark-on-Trent's own coordinates (53.07471, -0.80334), 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.
Connecting solar to the Newark-on-Trent network
Newark-on-Trent 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.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Newark-on-Trent
A heat pump in Newark-on-Trent
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Newark-on-Trent's roofs make 1,070 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,010 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).
Charging an EV in Newark-on-Trent
A 12-panel roof in Newark-on-Trent makes about 790 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 Newark-on-Trent: your questions answered
What could a roof in Newark-on-Trent generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Newark-on-Trent at 999 kWh per kWp a year, 2.74 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,350 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Newark-on-Trent?
£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 Newark-on-Trent differs is output: about 6,350 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Newark-on-Trent?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Newark-on-Trent, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval first. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Newark-on-Trent?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,417 kWh of the 6,350 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Newark-on-Trent goes to the grid, around £650 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Newark-on-Trent?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Newark-on-Trent 34.6 kWh per kWp in December and 36.7 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 230 kWh in those months, against 790 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
