How Worsbrough compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Worsbrough. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 64th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 9,016 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 952 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 £861 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £614 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 Worsbrough's own yield.
Barnsley is the planning authority covering Worsbrough, which the House of Commons Library classes 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 Worsbrough's own coordinates (53.53276, -1.46464), 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.
Who runs the grid in Worsbrough
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Worsbrough is Northern Powergrid, which runs the Yorkshire licence area.
G98 is the simple route. If the inverter, plus any battery, stays at or under 3.68kW per phase, Northern Powergrid only has to be told within 28 days after the system is commissioned.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection.

Beyond the panels: heating and car charging in Worsbrough
A heat pump in Worsbrough
A heat pump does most of its work from November to February. Over those four months, 12 panels in Worsbrough make about 1,020 kWh, against 2,890 kWh from May to August, so winter heating runs mostly on grid electricity and the tariff matters more 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 Worsbrough
A 12-panel roof in Worsbrough 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.
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).

Solar in Worsbrough: your questions answered
What does a solar panel system produce in Worsbrough?
Each kWp of panels in Worsbrough makes 952 kWh a year on PVGIS figures, so a typical 12-panel system produces around 6,050 kWh, from about 210 kWh in December up to 750 kWh in May.
What would 12 solar panels cost in Worsbrough?
£6,360 for 12 panels (6.36 kWp), the same as in every other place we cover, because solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed rather than by area. A battery adds its own installed price on top. Where Worsbrough differs is output: about 6,050 kWh a year from that system.
Would a system in Worsbrough need approval from the network operator?
Worsbrough is on Northern Powergrid's network (Yorkshire licence area). Systems up to 3.68kW per phase of inverter output follow G98: Northern Powergrid is notified within 28 days of commissioning, with no approval needed first. Anything larger needs a G99 application before installation. Northern Powergrid publishes a guaranteed standard of 45 working days to quote for a low voltage generation connection. Our G98 vs G99 guide explains both routes.
How much would export pay on a system in Worsbrough?
It is exported. With typical use and no battery, about 5,118 kWh of the 6,050 kWh a 12-panel system makes in Worsbrough goes to the grid, around £614 a year at 12p. A battery keeps more of it for the evening; the export rates table shows what suppliers pay.
Is solar worth it in Worsbrough in winter?
It works, but the year is lopsided. 68% of a Worsbrough roof's output lands between April and September; the four months from November to February give about 1,020 kWh on a 12-panel system. Payback is worked out on the whole year, not the winter.
