How Alnwick compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Alnwick. It is one of 18 Northumberland towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 18 for solar yield, a town of 8,681 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 971 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £876 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £629 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Alnwick's own yield, and at Alnwick's 971 kWh per kWp it 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.
Planning applications here go through Northumberland; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Alnwick 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.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Alnwick generates around 6,176 kWh a year, worth around £875 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Alnwick's own coordinates (55.40666, -1.70021), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.
