Against Great Britain as a whole: Wellesbourne makes 1,003 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Wellesbourne is 8% above it.
How Wellesbourne compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Wellesbourne. It is one of 19 Warwickshire towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 19 for solar yield, a town of 7,639 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,003 kWh per kWp a year, 2.75 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £900 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £653 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 Wellesbourne's own yield.
Any planning application in Wellesbourne sits with Stratford-on-Avon, 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.

NGED and your Wellesbourne connection
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Wellesbourne is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the 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.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Wellesbourne
A heat pump in Wellesbourne
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Wellesbourne, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 240 kWh in January, a fraction of its 780 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
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 Wellesbourne
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Wellesbourne make about 780 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.
The calculator above includes a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed. Renters and flat owners with off-street parking can claim 75% of a chargepoint's cost, up to £500 per socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).

Common questions about solar in Wellesbourne
How much electricity do solar panels make in Wellesbourne?
About 6,380 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Wellesbourne: 1,003 kWh per kWp, or 2.75 peak sun hours a day on average. July is the strongest month, at about 780 kWh.
What does a typical solar system cost in Wellesbourne?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Wellesbourne, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,380 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Which DNO covers Wellesbourne, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Wellesbourne. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Wellesbourne?
Around £653 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,442 kWh a 12-panel system in Wellesbourne exports with typical use. Rates vary by supplier and some need their own tariff; the export rates table is dated and sourced.
How much solar does Wellesbourne get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Wellesbourne, on PVGIS data, rising to 780 kWh in July. From November to February the same system makes about 1,080 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Wellesbourne 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 Wellesbourne |
|---|---|---|
| Wellesbourne | 1,003 | this town |
| Stratford-upon-Avon | 1,015 | +12 kWh |
| Warwick | 1,000 | −3 kWh |
| Whitnash | 999 | −4 kWh |
| Royal Leamington Spa | 1,000 | −3 kWh |
| Southam | 1,005 | +2 kWh |
| Kenilworth | 998 | −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.
