How Northamptonshire compares
Northamptonshire ranks 17th of the 85 counties we track for solar yield, which puts export income near the top of the country. On the 12p scenario a 12 panel system here sends about 5,538 kWh to the grid a year on top of the £247 it saves you directly, so oversizing the array is usually the right call.
A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Northamptonshire generates around 6,474 kWh a year, worth around £911 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
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.

Common questions about solar in Northamptonshire
What could a roof in Northamptonshire generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Northamptonshire at 1,018 kWh per kWp a year, 2.79 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Northamptonshire?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Northamptonshire costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Northamptonshire need approval from the network operator?
Most home solar and battery systems qualify for the simpler G98 notification, made to the network operator (DNO) after installation rather than before. A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Northamptonshire before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide and our DNO explainer cover it in full.
