How Tyldesley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Tyldesley. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 44th of 109 for solar yield, a town of 17,050 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 923 kWh per kWp a year, 2.53 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £839 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £592 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Tyldesley'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.
Any planning application in Tyldesley sits with Wigan, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

The network operator for Tyldesley
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Tyldesley is Electricity North West, which runs the North West England licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means Electricity North West is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: 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.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Tyldesley
A heat pump in Tyldesley
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Tyldesley, a 12-panel system makes about 180 kWh in December and 180 kWh in January, a fraction of its 770 kWh in May, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Tyldesley
Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Tyldesley make about 770 kWh, against roughly 70 kWh a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's typical-use settings, so there is surplus a smart charger can put into the car instead of exporting it.
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.

Tyldesley solar questions
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Tyldesley?
Tyldesley averages 2.53 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 923 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 5,870 kWh, 70% of it between April and September.
What does a typical solar system cost in Tyldesley?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Tyldesley, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 5,870 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Who is the network operator in Tyldesley, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Electricity North West. Most home systems use the G98 route, a notification within 28 days of switch-on for up to 3.68kW per phase, so nothing waits on the network. Above that, G99 applies and has to be granted 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. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Tyldesley?
Around £592 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 4,934 kWh a 12-panel system in Tyldesley exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How does solar perform in Tyldesley in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Tyldesley: about 180 kWh from 12 panels, against 770 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Tyldesley compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Tyldesley |
|---|---|---|
| Tyldesley | 923 | this town |
| Atherton | 923 | level |
| Little Hulton | 918 | −5 kWh |
| Walkden | 917 | −6 kWh |
| Worsley | 909 | −14 kWh |
| Leigh | 926 | +3 kWh |
| Farnworth | 918 | −5 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.

How to size a solar and battery system, properly
Usage, storage, connection, array. Four decisions, and the order between them matters.

Retrofitting a battery to working solar is straightforward. The paperwork is where people trip up.

Home off-peak charging costs a fraction of the public price. The arithmetic, and the tariff it depends on.
