How Brackley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Brackley. It is one of 16 Northamptonshire towns we track, and it ranks 15th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 16,882 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,016 kWh per kWp a year, 2.78 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £910 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £663 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Brackley's own yield, and at Brackley'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.
Any planning application in Brackley sits with West Northamptonshire, 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 Brackley 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 Brackley's own coordinates (52.03414, -1.14823), 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 Brackley
What could a roof in Brackley generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Brackley 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 Brackley?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Brackley costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Brackley 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 Brackley before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Brackley?
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 your inverter is smaller than your panel array, and why that is correct
More panel capacity than inverter capacity is a deliberate design choice.
