How Perton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Perton. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 15th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 9,305 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 960 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £867 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £620 from export at 12p.
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 Perton's own yield.
Perton sits within South Staffordshire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Perton's own coordinates (52.59525, -2.20254), 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 Perton network
Perton sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's West Midlands licence area, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED 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. 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 Perton
A heat pump in Perton
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Perton's roofs make 1,010 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,910 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 Perton
From April to September, 68% of a Perton 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.
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.

Solar in Perton: your questions answered
What could a roof in Perton generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Perton at 960 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,110 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Perton?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Perton before a battery. What Perton changes is the return, about 6,110 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Perton?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Perton, 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 can I earn from exporting solar in Perton?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Perton exports about 5,169 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £620; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Do solar panels work in winter in Perton?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Perton 33 kWh per kWp in December and 34.5 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 210 kWh and 220 kWh in those months, against 760 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Perton 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 Perton |
|---|---|---|
| Perton | 960 | this town |
| Codsall | 947 | −13 kWh |
| Wolverhampton | 948 | −12 kWh |
| Wombourne | 953 | −7 kWh |
| Sedgley | 948 | −12 kWh |
| Bilston | 955 | −5 kWh |
| Coseley | 957 | −3 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.
