Against Great Britain as a whole: Tamworth makes 973 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Tamworth is 5% above it.
How Tamworth compares
Tamworth is one of 19 Warwickshire towns we track, and it ranks 17th of 19 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 78,400 people. At 973 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.3 years on the 12p scenario: £877 of year one benefit against £6,360 installed, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Tamworth'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.
Planning applications in Tamworth go to its own council, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a large 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 Tamworth's own coordinates (52.62466, -1.67758), 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 Tamworth network
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Tamworth, as part of its East Midlands licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
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 Tamworth
A heat pump in Tamworth
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Tamworth's roofs make 1,030 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,940 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Tamworth
From April to September, 68% of a Tamworth roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 760 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.

Tamworth solar questions
What could a roof in Tamworth generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Tamworth at 973 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,190 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Tamworth?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Tamworth before a battery. What Tamworth changes is the return, about 6,190 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Tamworth?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Tamworth, 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 can I earn from exporting solar in Tamworth?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Tamworth exports about 5,252 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £630; a supplier paying more, or a battery that keeps more for the evening, changes the figure. See the export rates table.
Do solar panels work in winter in Tamworth?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Tamworth 34.1 kWh per kWp in December and 35.8 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh and 230 kWh in those months, against 760 kWh in July. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Tamworth compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Tamworth compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Tamworth |
|---|---|---|
| Tamworth | 973 | this town |
| Fazeley | 970 | −3 kWh |
| Polesworth and Dordon | 974 | +1 kWh |
| Atherstone | 981 | +8 kWh |
| Lichfield | 973 | level |
| Royal Sutton Coldfield | 968 | −5 kWh |
| Streetly | 965 | −8 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.
