How Uttoxeter compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Uttoxeter. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks 14th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 14,598 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 961 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £868 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £621 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Uttoxeter's own PVGIS figure; change the panels, the battery or the export rate and it reruns. The design call replaces every assumption with your roof and your bills.
Uttoxeter sits within East Staffordshire, 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 Uttoxeter's own coordinates (52.9002, -1.87148), 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 Uttoxeter network
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Uttoxeter, as part of its East Midlands licence area.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: NGED is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Uttoxeter
A heat pump in Uttoxeter
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Uttoxeter's roofs make 990 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,930 kWh from May to August. The heating season leans on the grid, so off-peak rates do the heavy lifting.
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 Uttoxeter
From April to September, 69% of a Uttoxeter roof's yearly output arrives, peaking at about 770 kWh in May 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.

Common questions about solar in Uttoxeter
What could a roof in Uttoxeter generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Uttoxeter at 961 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,110 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Uttoxeter?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Uttoxeter before a battery. What Uttoxeter changes is the return, about 6,110 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Uttoxeter?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Uttoxeter, 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 Uttoxeter?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Uttoxeter exports about 5,175 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £621; 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 Uttoxeter?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Uttoxeter 30.8 kWh per kWp in December and 34 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 200 kWh and 220 kWh in those months, against 770 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Uttoxeter 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 Uttoxeter |
|---|---|---|
| Uttoxeter | 961 | this town |
| Cheadle (Staffordshire Moorlands) | 953 | −8 kWh |
| Ashbourne | 962 | +1 kWh |
| Hilton | 967 | +6 kWh |
| Rugeley | 971 | +10 kWh |
| Stone | 951 | −10 kWh |
| Burton upon Trent | 967 | +6 kWh |
Same PVGIS v5.2 query for every town. Small differences are within year-to-year weather; more than about 30 kWh per kWp apart is geography.
