How Sedgley compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Sedgley is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 36th of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 32,223 residents, and its roofs see 2.60 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,029 kWh of generation, of which around 5,093 kWh is exported at 12p for £611 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 Sedgley'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 Dudley; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Sedgley 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.

NGED and your Sedgley connection
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Sedgley, as part of its West Midlands licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
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 Sedgley
A heat pump in Sedgley
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Sedgley make about 200 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Sedgley 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).
Charging an EV in Sedgley
Sedgley's July output, about 750 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.

Solar panel servicing and repair in Sedgley
If a system in Sedgley is underperforming, start with the guides below: repair benchmarks, service scope, and the inverter question.
Solar in Sedgley: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Sedgley?
Sedgley averages 2.60 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 948 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,030 kWh, 69% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Sedgley?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Sedgley, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,030 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Sedgley, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED). 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. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Sedgley?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Sedgley sends about 5,093 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £611. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Sedgley in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Sedgley: about 200 kWh from 12 panels, against 750 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.

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.
