How Partington compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Partington. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 23rd of 45 for solar yield, a town of 8,307 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 921 kWh per kWp a year, 2.52 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £838 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £591 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Partington's own yield, and prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Trafford is the planning authority covering Partington, 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.

Who runs the grid in Partington
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Partington is Electricity North West, which runs the North West England licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, Electricity North West only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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 Electricity North West as it does every network operator.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Partington
A heat pump in Partington
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Partington make about 910 kWh, against 2,840 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 Partington
From April to September, 69% of a Partington 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.
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.

Partington solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Partington?
Each kWp of panels in Partington makes 921 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 5,860 kWh, from about 180 kWh in December up to 760 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Partington?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Partington before a battery. What Partington changes is the return, about 5,860 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Partington need approval from the network operator?
Partington is on Electricity North West's network (North West England licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: Electricity North West 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 Electricity North West as it does every network operator. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Partington?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Partington exports about 4,921 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £591; 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 Partington in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Partington roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 910 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Partington 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 Partington |
|---|---|---|
| Partington | 921 | this town |
| Irlam | 921 | level |
| Urmston | 913 | −8 kWh |
| Lymm | 930 | +9 kWh |
| Altrincham | 922 | +1 kWh |
| Sale | 913 | −8 kWh |
| Stretford | 908 | −13 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.
