How Woodville compares

Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Woodville. It is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 7th of 28 for solar yield, a town of 7,966 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 971 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £876 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £629 from export at 12p.

These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Woodville'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.

Any planning application in Woodville sits with South Derbyshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is small town.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Woodville's own coordinates (52.76854, -1.53038), 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.

Local grid

The network operator for Woodville

On NESO's licence-area map, Woodville is in East Midlands, which National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) operates. That makes NGED the network operator for any system fitted here.

Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to NGED within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.

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.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Woodville

A heat pump in Woodville

In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Woodville make about 210 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Woodville comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.

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 Woodville

Summer is where a car earns its place. In May, 12 panels in Woodville 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.

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).

FAQs

Woodville solar questions

How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Woodville?

Woodville averages 2.66 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 971 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,180 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.

What does a typical solar system cost in Woodville?

Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Woodville, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,180 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.

Who is the network operator in Woodville, and do I need a G99 application?

The operator is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED). 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. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late. Your design call checks which route yours needs.

What happens to the solar I do not use in Woodville?

Around £629 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,239 kWh a 12-panel system in Woodville 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 Woodville in the winter months?

December is the weakest month in Woodville: about 210 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 Woodville compares with its neighbours

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