How Swinton (Salford) compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Swinton (Salford). It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks 62nd of 109 for solar yield, a town of 23,888 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 901 kWh per kWp a year, 2.47 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £822 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £575 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 Swinton (Salford)'s own yield.
Swinton (Salford) sits within Salford, 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 Swinton (Salford)'s own coordinates (53.50852, -2.34629), 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 Swinton (Salford) network
Swinton (Salford) is served by Electricity North West: the town's centre falls inside its North West England 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 Electricity North West within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds Electricity North West as it does every network operator.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Swinton (Salford)
A heat pump in Swinton (Salford)
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Swinton (Salford)'s roofs make 900 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,770 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 Swinton (Salford)
A 12-panel roof in Swinton (Salford) makes about 740 kWh in May. 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.
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.

Solar in Swinton (Salford): your questions answered
What could a roof in Swinton (Salford) generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Swinton (Salford) at 901 kWh per kWp a year, 2.47 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 5,730 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Swinton (Salford)?
£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 Swinton (Salford) differs is output: about 5,730 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Swinton (Salford)?
Usually not in advance. Electricity North West, the network operator for Swinton (Salford), 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. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds Electricity North West as it does every network operator. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Swinton (Salford)?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 4,794 kWh of the 5,730 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Swinton (Salford) goes to the grid, around £575 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 Swinton (Salford)?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Swinton (Salford) 28.4 kWh per kWp in December and 27.6 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 180 kWh and 180 kWh in those months, against 740 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
