How Royal Leamington Spa compares

Among the places we publish figures for, Royal Leamington Spa is one of 19 Warwickshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 4th of 19 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 51,906 residents, and its roofs see 2.74 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,360 kWh of generation, of which around 5,423 kWh is exported at 12p for £651 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.

Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Royal Leamington Spa'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 Warwick; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Royal Leamington Spa as a medium town.

Local grid

NGED and your Royal Leamington Spa connection

Royal Leamington Spa sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's East 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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Royal Leamington Spa

A heat pump in Royal Leamington Spa

In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Royal Leamington Spa make about 220 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Royal Leamington Spa comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather 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).
