How Bexley compares
Bexley is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 38th of 44 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement classification puts it in the core city class, with a population of 255,710, which makes it one of the largest places we publish figures for. Scale changes nothing about the physics: PVGIS gives a roof here 1,042 kWh per kWp a year, 2.85 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 £683.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Bexley's own yield, and at Bexley's 1,042 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.

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 Bexley generates around 6,627 kWh a year, worth around £929 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Bexley's own coordinates (51.45984, 0.13727), 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 Bexley
What could a roof in Bexley generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Bexley at 1,042 kWh per kWp a year, 2.85 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Bexley?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Bexley costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Bexley 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 Bexley 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.

What charging at 8p and using at 26.11p is actually worth over a year.
Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.

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.
