Against Great Britain as a whole: Worsley makes 909 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Worsley is 2% below it.
How Worsley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Worsley. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 55th of 109 for solar yield, a town of 12,223 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 909 kWh per kWp a year, 2.49 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £828 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £581 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Worsley'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 Worsley sits with Salford, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

The network operator for Worsley
Worsley is served by Electricity North West: the town's centre falls inside its North West England licence area on NESO's boundary map.
What decides the paperwork is the inverter and battery output, not the number of panels. Up to 3.68kW per phase, a system follows G98: Electricity North West is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds Electricity North West as it does every network operator.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Worsley
A heat pump in Worsley
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Worsley, a 12-panel system makes about 180 kWh in December and 180 kWh in January, a fraction of its 750 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 Worsley
Worsley's May output, about 750 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.

Worsley solar questions
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Worsley?
Worsley averages 2.49 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 909 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 5,780 kWh, 69% of it between April and September.
Is solar more expensive in Worsley?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Worsley, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 5,780 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Who is the network operator in Worsley, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Electricity North West. 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. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds Electricity North West as it does every network operator. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What could I earn from exporting in Worsley?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Worsley sends about 4,845 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £581. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How does solar perform in Worsley in the winter months?
January is the weakest month in Worsley: about 180 kWh from 12 panels, against 750 kWh in May. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Worsley compares with its neighbours
The six closest towns we publish, run through the identical PVGIS query as Worsley.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Worsley |

| Walkden | 917 | +8 kWh |
| Little Hulton | 918 | +9 kWh |
| Eccles | 913 | +4 kWh |
| Swinton (Salford) | 901 | −8 kWh |
| Tyldesley | 923 | +14 kWh |
| Kearsley | 906 | −3 kWh |
PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
