How Worksop compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Worksop is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 28th of 29 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 46,069 residents, and its roofs see 2.63 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,099 kWh of generation, of which around 5,163 kWh is exported at 12p for £620 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Worksop's own yield, and 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.
Any planning application in Worksop sits with Bassetlaw, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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.

The network operator for Worksop
Worksop sits in National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands licence area, so NGED is the network operator (DNO) any solar panels or battery here are registered with.
Below 3.68kW per phase of inverter and battery output, the G98 route applies: the installation is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning, with no prior approval.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Worksop
A heat pump in Worksop
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Worksop, a 12-panel system makes about 220 kWh in December and 220 kWh in January, a fraction of its 770 kWh in May, 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 Worksop
Worksop's May output, about 770 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
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.

Solar in Worksop: your questions answered
How much electricity do solar panels make in Worksop?
About 6,100 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Worksop: 959 kWh per kWp, or 2.63 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 770 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Worksop?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Worksop, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,100 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Worksop, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Worksop. 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 could I earn from exporting in Worksop?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Worksop sends about 5,163 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £620. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Worksop get in December?
December is the low point: about 220 kWh from a 12-panel system in Worksop, on PVGIS data, rising to 770 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,030 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Worksop 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 Worksop |
|---|---|---|
| Worksop | 959 | this town |
| Dinnington | 976 | +17 kWh |
| Clowne | 972 | +13 kWh |
| Retford | 995 | +36 kWh |
| Harworth and Bircotes | 980 | +21 kWh |
| Killamarsh | 957 | −2 kWh |
| Shirebrook | 966 | +7 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.
