How Brent compares
Brent is one of 23 Middlesex towns we track, and it ranks joint 15th of 23 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement classification puts it in the core city class, with a population of 353,867, which makes it one of the largest places we publish figures for. Scale changes nothing about the physics: PVGIS gives a roof here 1,024 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 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 £669.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Brent's own yield, and at Brent's 1,024 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 Brent sits with Brent, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Brent generates around 6,513 kWh a year, worth around £916 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Brent's own coordinates (51.55825, -0.26677), 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Brent?

A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Brent before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

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