How Barnet compares
Barnet is one of 23 Middlesex towns we track, and it ranks 23rd of 23 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement classification puts it in the core city class, with a population of 404,081, which makes it one of the largest places we publish figures for. Scale changes nothing about the physics: PVGIS gives a roof here 1,016 kWh per kWp a year, 2.78 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and on the 12p scenario about £247 of the year one benefit comes from solar you use yourself, with export income adding £663.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Barnet's own yield, and at Barnet's 1,016 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.
Barnet sits within Barnet, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a core city.
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 Barnet generates around 6,462 kWh a year, worth around £910 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Barnet's own coordinates (51.61126, -0.20534), 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 Barnet
What could a roof in Barnet generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Barnet at 1,016 kWh per kWp a year, 2.78 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Barnet?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Barnet costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Barnet 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 Barnet before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Barnet?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,525 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £663. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Why solar panels stop working, and how to work out which one it is
There is an order to this, and it starts at the inverter display rather than the roof.

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