Heat pumps and EV charging in North Cornelly and Kenfig Hill
A heat pump in North Cornelly and Kenfig Hill
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In North Cornelly and Kenfig Hill, a 12-panel system makes about 210 kWh in December and 230 kWh in January, a fraction of its 860 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
Grant support in Wales 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 North Cornelly and Kenfig Hill
North Cornelly and Kenfig Hill's May output, about 860 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
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).
