How Wombwell compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Wombwell. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks 48th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 17,242 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 957 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £865 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £618 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Wombwell's own yield, and at Wombwell's 957 kWh per kWp it 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.
Planning applications here go through Barnsley; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Wombwell 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.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Wombwell generates around 6,087 kWh a year, worth around £865 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Wombwell's own coordinates (53.52265, -1.40153), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.

Common questions about solar in Wombwell
What could a roof in Wombwell generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Wombwell?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Wombwell costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Wombwell need a G99 application?
Most home solar and battery systems qualify for the simpler G98 notification, made to the network operator (DNO) after installation rather than before. A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Wombwell before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

The strongest single box in the market, and the houses it is still wrong for.
Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.
Read the guide →Are heat pumps worth it? The real 2026 numbers
Electricity costs 3.3x gas per kWh. A heat pump is about 3x as efficient. The numbers nearly cancel out.

The G98 line sits at 3.68kW per phase. Above it, your network operator has to say yes first.

Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
