Heat pumps and EV charging in Swallownest and Aston
A heat pump in Swallownest and Aston
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Swallownest and Aston, 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.
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 Swallownest and Aston
Swallownest and Aston's May output, about 770 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.

What could I earn from exporting in Swallownest and Aston?
