Real satellite data for Boston, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Boston compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Boston is one of 22 Lincolnshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 22 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 45,275 residents, and its roofs see 2.86 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,633 kWh of generation, of which around 5,697 kWh is exported at 12p for £684 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Boston's own yield, and at Boston's 1,043 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 Boston; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Boston as a medium 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 Boston generates around 6,633 kWh a year, worth around £930 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Boston's own coordinates (52.97324, -0.02434), 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 Boston
What could a roof in Boston generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Boston at 1,043 kWh per kWp a year, 2.86 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Boston?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Boston costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Boston 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 Boston before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Boston?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,697 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £684. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Do solar panels need direct sunlight? Not really, and here is why
No. Solar cells respond to light hitting them, not to a clear line of sight to the sun.

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.
