How Stoke Gifford compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Stoke Gifford. It is one of 24 Gloucestershire towns we track, and it ranks 7th of 24 for solar yield, a town of 16,719 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,010 kWh per kWp a year, 2.77 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £905 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £658 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Stoke Gifford'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.
Stoke Gifford sits within South Gloucestershire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Stoke Gifford's own coordinates (51.5088, -2.54575), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate; the methodology is on our help page.
Connecting solar to the Stoke Gifford network
Stoke Gifford sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's South West England licence area, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
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.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. 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 Stoke Gifford
A heat pump in Stoke Gifford
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Stoke Gifford's roofs make 1,090 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 3,030 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Stoke Gifford
From April to September, 68% of a Stoke Gifford roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 790 kWh in July on 12 panels. A car parked at home in daylight can soak up what the house, at around 70 kWh of daytime use that month, cannot.
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.

Stoke Gifford solar questions
What could a roof in Stoke Gifford generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Stoke Gifford at 1,010 kWh per kWp a year, 2.77 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,420 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Stoke Gifford?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Stoke Gifford differs is output: about 6,420 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Stoke Gifford?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Stoke Gifford, only needs a G98 notification within 28 days of commissioning for systems up to 3.68kW per phase. Bigger inverter or battery outputs need G99 approval first. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Stoke Gifford?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,487 kWh of the 6,420 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Stoke Gifford goes to the grid, around £658 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Do solar panels work in winter in Stoke Gifford?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Stoke Gifford 34.6 kWh per kWp in December and 38.3 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 240 kWh in those months, against 790 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
