How Polesworth and Dordon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Polesworth and Dordon. It is one of 19 Warwickshire towns we track, and it ranks 16th of 19 for solar yield, a town of 7,900 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 974 kWh per kWp a year, 2.67 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £878 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £631 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 Polesworth and Dordon's own yield.
North Warwickshire is the planning authority covering Polesworth and Dordon, 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 Polesworth and Dordon
On NESO's licence-area map, Polesworth and Dordon is in East Midlands, which National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) operates. That makes NGED the network operator for any system fitted here.
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.
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 Polesworth and Dordon
A heat pump in Polesworth and Dordon
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Polesworth and Dordon make about 1,030 kWh, against 2,950 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme, open in England and Wales, takes £7,500 off an air source or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 off an air-to-air unit. Homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas get £1,500 more until March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Polesworth and Dordon
A 12-panel roof in Polesworth and Dordon 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.
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).

Solar in Polesworth and Dordon: your questions answered
What does a solar panel system produce in Polesworth and Dordon?
Each kWp of panels in Polesworth and Dordon makes 974 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,190 kWh, from about 220 kWh in December up to 770 kWh in July.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Polesworth and Dordon?
£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 Polesworth and Dordon differs is output: about 6,190 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Polesworth and Dordon need approval from the network operator?
Polesworth and Dordon 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 would export pay on a system in Polesworth and Dordon?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,258 kWh of the 6,190 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Polesworth and Dordon goes to the grid, around £631 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Polesworth and Dordon in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Polesworth and Dordon roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,030 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
How Polesworth and Dordon 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 Polesworth and Dordon |
|---|---|---|
| Polesworth and Dordon | 974 | this town |
| Tamworth | 973 | −1 kWh |
| Atherstone | 981 | +7 kWh |
| Fazeley | 970 | −4 kWh |
| Nuneaton | 984 | +10 kWh |
| Royal Sutton Coldfield | 968 | −6 kWh |
| Lichfield | 973 | −1 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.
