How Pudsey compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Pudsey is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks 93rd of 122 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 35,071 residents, and its roofs see 2.57 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,953 kWh of generation, of which around 5,016 kWh is exported at 12p for £602 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Pudsey'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.
Leeds is the planning authority covering Pudsey, which the House of Commons Library classes as a medium 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 Pudsey's own coordinates (53.8003, -1.67068), 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.
Who runs the grid in Pudsey
Northern Powergrid owns and runs the local electricity network in Pudsey, as part of its Yorkshire licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Pudsey
A heat pump in Pudsey
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Pudsey make about 960 kWh, against 2,880 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more than the roof.
Grant support in England 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 Pudsey
From April to September, 69% of a Pudsey 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.
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).

Pudsey solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Pudsey?
Each kWp of panels in Pudsey makes 936 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 5,950 kWh, from about 190 kWh in December up to 760 kWh in May.
How much are solar panels in Pudsey?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Pudsey before a battery. What Pudsey changes is the return, about 5,950 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Pudsey need approval from the network operator?
Pudsey is on Northern Powergrid's network (Yorkshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Pudsey?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Pudsey exports about 5,016 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £602; 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 Pudsey in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 69% of a Pudsey roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 960 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
