How Arbroath compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Arbroath. It is one of 7 Angus towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 7 for solar yield, a town of 23,351 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 940 kWh per kWp a year, 2.58 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £852 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £605 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Arbroath's own yield, and at Arbroath's 940 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.
Any planning application in Arbroath sits with Angus, 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.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Arbroath generates around 5,978 kWh a year, worth around £852 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Arbroath's own coordinates (56.56234, -2.58408), 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.

Common questions about solar in Arbroath
What could a roof in Arbroath generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Arbroath?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Arbroath costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Arbroath need a G99 application?
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 Arbroath before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

Are solar panels worth it in 2026? Here is the actual maths
Roughly £1,000 per kWp installed, offsetting electricity at 26.32p a unit. The real arithmetic.
Read the guide →Whole home backup or partial backup? The runtime arithmetic
Whole home backup sounds obvious until you do the runtime maths. Here is how to choose the right tier.
Read the guide →What it really costs to charge an EV at home versus in public
Home off-peak charging costs a fraction of the public price. The arithmetic, and the tariff it depends on.
Read the guide →Heat pump running costs versus a gas boiler, assumptions shown
Four numbers decide it: seasonal efficiency, flow temperature, tariff and heat demand.
Read the guide →Why tariff choice moves payback more than kit choice
Identical kit, five times the export income. The tariff decision worked through with August 2026 rates.

Solar work is notifiable. A competent person scheme means your installation team notifies, not you.

Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.

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.
