How Rawmarsh compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Rawmarsh. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 49th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 19,445 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 956 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £864 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £617 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Rawmarsh'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.
Planning applications here go through Rotherham; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Rawmarsh 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 Rawmarsh's own coordinates (53.46137, -1.34336), 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.
Northern Powergrid and your Rawmarsh connection
Rawmarsh sits in Northern Powergrid's Yorkshire licence area, so Northern Powergrid 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, Northern Powergrid only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Rawmarsh
A heat pump in Rawmarsh
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Rawmarsh, a 12-panel system makes about 210 kWh in December and 210 kWh in January, a fraction of its 760 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Rawmarsh
Rawmarsh's May output, about 760 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
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.

Rawmarsh solar questions
How much electricity do solar panels make in Rawmarsh?
About 6,080 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Rawmarsh: 956 kWh per kWp, or 2.62 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 760 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Rawmarsh?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Rawmarsh, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,080 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Rawmarsh, and what does it need from me?
Northern Powergrid covers Rawmarsh. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to Northern Powergrid within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.
What could I earn from exporting in Rawmarsh?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Rawmarsh sends about 5,143 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £617. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Rawmarsh get in December?
December is the low point: about 210 kWh from a 12-panel system in Rawmarsh, on PVGIS data, rising to 760 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,020 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Rawmarsh compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Rawmarsh.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Rawmarsh |
|---|---|---|
| Rawmarsh | 956 | this town |
| Swinton (Rotherham) | 956 | level |
| Rotherham | 951 | −5 kWh |
| Wath upon Dearne | 954 | −2 kWh |
| Mexborough | 968 | +12 kWh |
| Wickersley and Bramley | 968 | +12 kWh |
| Brinsworth | 951 | −5 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.
