Against Great Britain as a whole: Nuneaton makes 984 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Nuneaton is 6% above it.
How Nuneaton compares
Nuneaton is one of 19 Warwickshire towns we track, and it ranks 12th of 19 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 93,618 people. At 984 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.2 years on the 12p scenario: £885 of year one benefit against £6,360 installed, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Nuneaton'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.
Nuneaton and Bedworth is the planning authority covering Nuneaton, which the House of Commons Library classes as a large 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 Nuneaton
Nuneaton is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED): the town's centre falls inside its East Midlands 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 NGED 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. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Nuneaton
A heat pump in Nuneaton
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Nuneaton make about 1,070 kWh, against 2,960 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 Nuneaton
A 12-panel roof in Nuneaton makes about 770 kWh in July. 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.

Nuneaton solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Nuneaton?
Each kWp of panels in Nuneaton makes 984 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,260 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 770 kWh in July.
How much are solar panels in Nuneaton?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Nuneaton before a battery. What Nuneaton changes is the return, about 6,260 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Nuneaton need approval from the network operator?
Nuneaton is on National Grid Electricity Distribution's network (East Midlands licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Nuneaton?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Nuneaton exports about 5,322 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £639; 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 Nuneaton in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Nuneaton roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,070 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Nuneaton compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Nuneaton |
|---|---|---|
| Nuneaton | 984 | this town |
| Bedworth | 983 | −1 kWh |
| Hinckley | 988 | +4 kWh |
| Atherstone | 981 | −3 kWh |
| Barwell | 990 | +6 kWh |
| Earl Shilton | 990 | +6 kWh |
| Coventry | 985 | +1 kWh |
Same PVGIS v5.2 query for every town. Small differences are within year-to-year weather; more than about 30 kWh per kWp apart is geography.
