How Tullibody compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Tullibody. It is one of 2 Clackmannanshire towns we track, and it ranks 1st of 2 for solar yield, a town of 8,461 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 885 kWh per kWp a year, 2.42 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £810 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £563 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Tullibody'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.
Tullibody sits within Clackmannanshire, 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 Tullibody's own coordinates (56.13437, -3.83587), 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 Tullibody network
SP Energy Networks owns and runs the local electricity network in Tullibody, as part of its South and Central Scotland licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means SP Energy Networks is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Anything bigger is a G99 case and is applied for 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 SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Tullibody
A heat pump in Tullibody
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Tullibody's roofs make 780 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,860 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
Scottish homes apply through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: up to £7,500 in grant for a heat pump, up to £7,500 more as an optional interest-free loan, and a £1,500 uplift for rural and island homes (checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Tullibody
A 12-panel roof in Tullibody makes about 790 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 Tullibody: your questions answered
What could a roof in Tullibody generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Tullibody at 885 kWh per kWp a year, 2.42 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 5,630 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Tullibody?
£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 Tullibody differs is output: about 5,630 kWh a year from that system.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Tullibody?
Usually not in advance. SP Energy Networks, the network operator for Tullibody, 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 SP Energy Networks as it does every network operator. "See our DNO explainer.
How much would export pay on a system in Tullibody?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 4,692 kWh of the 5,630 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Tullibody goes to the grid, around £563 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 Tullibody?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Tullibody 19.7 kWh per kWp in December and 24.7 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 130 kWh and 160 kWh in those months, against 790 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Tullibody compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Tullibody compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Tullibody |
|---|---|---|
| Tullibody | 885 | this town |
| Alloa | 878 | −7 kWh |
| Stirling | 876 | −9 kWh |
| Dunblane | 865 | −20 kWh |
| Larbert and Stenhousemuir | 873 | −12 kWh |
| Denny | 856 | −29 kWh |
| Grangemouth | 870 | −15 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.
