How Stourport-on-Severn compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Stourport-on-Severn. It is one of 13 Worcestershire towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 13 for solar yield, a town of 20,593 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 990 kWh per kWp a year, 2.71 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £890 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £643 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 Stourport-on-Severn's own yield.
Stourport-on-Severn sits within Wyre Forest, 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.

Connecting solar to the Stourport-on-Severn network
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Stourport-on-Severn, as part of its West Midlands licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
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.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Stourport-on-Severn
A heat pump in Stourport-on-Severn
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Stourport-on-Severn's roofs make 1,060 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,990 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
In England, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump and £2,500 towards an air-to-air one, with £1,500 more until March 2027 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Stourport-on-Severn
From April to September, 68% of a Stourport-on-Severn roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 780 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.

Common questions about solar in Stourport-on-Severn
What could a roof in Stourport-on-Severn generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Stourport-on-Severn at 990 kWh per kWp a year, 2.71 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,300 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Stourport-on-Severn?
£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 Stourport-on-Severn differs is output: about 6,300 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Stourport-on-Severn?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Stourport-on-Severn, 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 Stourport-on-Severn?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,360 kWh of the 6,300 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Stourport-on-Severn goes to the grid, around £643 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 Stourport-on-Severn?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Stourport-on-Severn 34.4 kWh per kWp in December and 36.4 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 230 kWh in those months, against 780 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Stourport-on-Severn 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 Stourport-on-Severn |
|---|---|---|
| Stourport-on-Severn | 990 | this town |
| Bewdley | 978 | −12 kWh |
| Kidderminster | 982 | −8 kWh |
| Droitwich Spa | 993 | +3 kWh |
| Bromsgrove | 988 | −2 kWh |
| Stourbridge | 949 | −41 kWh |
| Catshill | 969 | −21 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.
