Against Great Britain as a whole: Wroughton makes 1,019 kWh per kWp a year, and the mean of our 85 county PVGIS estimates (our GB average) is 925, so Wroughton is 10% above it.
How Wroughton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Wroughton. It is one of 20 Wiltshire towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 20 for solar yield, a town of 7,607 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,019 kWh per kWp a year, 2.79 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £912 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £665 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, opened on Wroughton'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 Wroughton sits with Swindon, 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Wroughton's own coordinates (51.52528, -1.78982), 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.
The network operator for Wroughton
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) owns and runs the local electricity network in Wroughton, as part of its Southern England licence area.
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: SSEN is notified within 28 days of commissioning and nothing has to be approved first.
Larger systems go through G99 instead, applied for before installation. On timing: SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW.

Heat pumps and EV charging in Wroughton
A heat pump in Wroughton
Heating demand peaks when solar is weakest. In Wroughton, a 12-panel system makes about 230 kWh in December and 250 kWh in January, a fraction of its 800 kWh in July, which is why a heat pump here is costed on its tariff first.
In England, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump and £2,500 towards an air-to-air one, with £1,500 more until March 2027 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Wroughton
Summer is where a car earns its place. In July, 12 panels in Wroughton make about 800 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.
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 Wroughton: your questions answered
How much energy would 12 solar panels make in Wroughton?
Wroughton averages 2.79 peak sun hours a day, which PVGIS turns into 1,019 kWh per kWp a year. On a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp roof that is about 6,480 kWh, 68% of it between April and September.
What does a typical solar system cost in Wroughton?
Solar is priced at £1,000 per kWp installed wherever you live, so a 12-panel, 6.36 kWp system costs £6,360 in Wroughton, exactly as it would anywhere else, before any battery. Location changes what the system makes, not what it costs: here that is about 6,480 kWh a year. The final figure comes from your roof on the design call.
Who is the network operator in Wroughton, and do I need a G99 application?
The operator is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). 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. SSEN says it can take up to 45 working days to issue a quotation for a generation connection above 3.68kW per phase and up to 50kW. Your design call checks which route yours needs.
What happens to the solar I do not use in Wroughton?
Around £665 a year at 12p per kWh, for the roughly 5,544 kWh a 12-panel system in Wroughton 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 Wroughton in the winter months?
December is the weakest month in Wroughton: about 230 kWh from 12 panels, against 800 kWh in July. The panels still generate on bright winter days; they just cover a smaller share of what the house uses.
How Wroughton compares with its neighbours
How the towns nearest Wroughton compare on the same PVGIS settings, closest first.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Wroughton |
|---|---|---|
| Wroughton | 1,019 | this town |
| Swindon | 1,018 | −1 kWh |
| Stratton St Margaret | 1,020 | +1 kWh |
| Royal Wootton Bassett | 1,018 | −1 kWh |
| Marlborough | 1,017 | −2 kWh |
| Highworth | 1,018 | −1 kWh |
| Calne | 1,013 | −6 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
