Against Great Britain as a whole: Staveley makes 957 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Staveley is 3% above it.
How Staveley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Staveley. It is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 18th of 28 for solar yield, a town of 15,404 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 957 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 £865 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £618 from export at 12p.
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 Staveley's own yield.
Planning applications here go through Chesterfield; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Staveley 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.

The network operator for Staveley
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Staveley is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the East Midlands licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: 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 Staveley
A heat pump in Staveley
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Staveley, a 12-panel system makes about 200 kWh in December and 210 kWh in January, a fraction of its 770 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Staveley
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Staveley make about 770 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
The calculator above includes a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed. Renters and flat owners with off-street parking can claim 75% of a chargepoint's cost, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).

Solar in Staveley: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Staveley?
About 6,090 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Staveley: 957 kWh per kWp, or 2.62 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 770 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Staveley?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Staveley, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,090 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Staveley, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Staveley. 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 happens to the solar I do not use in Staveley?
Around £618 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,150 kWh a 12-panel system in Staveley exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Staveley get in December?
December is the low point: about 200 kWh from a 12-panel system in Staveley, on PVGIS data, rising to 770 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 980 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Staveley compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Staveley |
|---|---|---|
| Staveley | 957 | this town |
| Brimington | 954 | −3 kWh |
| Bolsover | 962 | +5 kWh |
| Chesterfield | 957 | level |
| Clowne | 972 | +15 kWh |
| Killamarsh | 957 | level |
| North Wingfield and Holmewood | 954 | −3 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
