How Streetly compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Streetly. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 9th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 16,898 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 965 kWh per kWp a year, 2.64 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £871 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £624 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Streetly'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.
Walsall is the planning authority covering Streetly, which the House of Commons Library classes 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.

Who runs the grid in Streetly
Streetly is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED): the town's centre falls inside its West Midlands licence area on NESO's boundary map.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to NGED within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for first. 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 Streetly
A heat pump in Streetly
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Streetly make about 1,050 kWh, against 2,900 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more 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 Streetly
A 12-panel roof in Streetly makes about 750 kWh in July. A typical home uses around 70 kWh of that in daylight (the calculator's typical-use settings), which leaves most of the month's output for an EV or for export.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can get 75% off a chargepoint and its installation, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above adds a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Streetly solar questions
What does a solar panel system produce in Streetly?
Each kWp of panels in Streetly makes 965 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,140 kWh, from about 230 kWh in December up to 750 kWh in July.
How much are solar panels in Streetly?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Streetly before a battery. What Streetly changes is the return, about 6,140 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Would a system in Streetly need approval from the network operator?
Streetly is on National Grid Electricity Distribution's network (West Midlands licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much can I earn from exporting solar in Streetly?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Streetly exports about 5,201 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £624; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Is solar worth it in Streetly in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Streetly roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,050 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
