How Blaydon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Blaydon. It is one of 35 Durham towns we track, and it ranks joint 30th of 35 for solar yield, a town of 14,636 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 934 kWh per kWp a year, 2.56 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £847 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £600 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Blaydon's own yield, and at Blaydon's 934 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 Gateshead; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Blaydon 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 Blaydon generates around 5,940 kWh a year, worth around £847 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Blaydon's own coordinates (54.95852, -1.70718), 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.

Would a system in Blaydon 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 Blaydon before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
