How Romiley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Romiley. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 38th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 10,991 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 873 kWh per kWp a year, 2.39 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £801 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £554 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Romiley'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.
Any planning application in Romiley sits with Stockport, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

Electricity North West and your Romiley connection
Romiley sits in Electricity North West's North West England licence area, so Electricity North West is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to Electricity North West within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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 Romiley
A heat pump in Romiley
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Romiley, a 12-panel system makes about 160 kWh in December and 150 kWh in January, a fraction of its 730 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Romiley
Romiley's May output, about 730 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.

Romiley solar questions
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Romiley?
Romiley averages 2.39 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 873 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 5,550 kWh, 70% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Romiley?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Romiley, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 5,550 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Romiley, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Electricity North West. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted first. 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. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Romiley?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Romiley sends about 4,616 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £554. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Romiley in the winter months?
January is the weakest month in Romiley: about 150 kWh from 12 panels, against 730 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Romiley compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Romiley.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Romiley |

| Bredbury and Woodley | 872 | −1 kWh |
| Marple | 866 | −7 kWh |
| Hyde | 859 | −14 kWh |
| Denton | 864 | −9 kWh |
| Hazel Grove | 880 | +7 kWh |
| Stockport | 882 | +9 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
