How Wombourne compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Wombourne. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 29th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 13,347 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 953 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £862 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £615 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Wombourne'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.
Wombourne sits within South 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 Wombourne's own coordinates (52.5334, -2.19615), 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 Wombourne network
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Wombourne is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the West Midlands licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, NGED only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Wombourne
A heat pump in Wombourne
Solar and a heat pump pull in opposite directions through the year: Wombourne's roofs make 1,000 kWh from November to February on a 12-panel system, and 2,880 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 Wombourne
A 12-panel roof in Wombourne makes about 750 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.
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.

Common questions about solar in Wombourne
What could a roof in Wombourne generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Wombourne at 953 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons. A 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system makes about 6,060 kWh a year, most of it between April and September.
How much are solar panels in Wombourne?
The price does not move by postcode. At £1,000 per kWp installed, 12 panels (6.36 kWp) come to £6,360 in Wombourne before a battery. What Wombourne changes is the return, about 6,060 kWh a year from that system, and your design call prices your actual roof.
Do I need permission from the DNO for solar in Wombourne?
Usually not in advance. NGED, the network operator for Wombourne, 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 Wombourne?
With typical use and no battery, a 12-panel system in Wombourne exports about 5,124 kWh a year. At 12p per kWh that is roughly £615; 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 Wombourne?
Yes, at a lower level. PVGIS gives Wombourne 32.2 kWh per kWp in December and 34.5 in January, so a 12-panel system makes about 200 kWh and 220 kWh in those months, against 750 kWh in May. Winter output mostly covers daytime use rather than exporting.
How Wombourne 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 Wombourne |
|---|---|---|
| Wombourne | 953 | this town |
| Sedgley | 948 | −5 kWh |
| Kingswinford | 949 | −4 kWh |
| Perton | 960 | +7 kWh |
| Coseley | 957 | +4 kWh |
| Dudley | 956 | +3 kWh |
| Wolverhampton | 948 | −5 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.
