How Rowley Regis compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Rowley Regis is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 9th of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 39,893 residents, and its roofs see 2.64 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,137 kWh of generation, of which around 5,201 kWh is exported at 12p for £624 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
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 Rowley Regis' own yield.
Any planning application in Rowley Regis sits with Sandwell, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

The network operator for Rowley Regis
Rowley Regis 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.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. 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 Rowley Regis
A heat pump in Rowley Regis
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Rowley Regis, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 230 kWh in January, a fraction of its 760 kWh in July, 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 Rowley Regis
Rowley Regis' July 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.

Common questions about solar in Rowley Regis
How much electricity do solar panels make in Rowley Regis?
About 6,140 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Rowley Regis: 965 kWh per kWp, or 2.64 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 760 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Rowley Regis?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Rowley Regis, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,140 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Rowley Regis, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Rowley Regis. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
What could I earn from exporting in Rowley Regis?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Rowley Regis sends about 5,201 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £624. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Rowley Regis get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Rowley Regis, on PVGIS data, rising to 760 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,030 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
