How Carlton compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Carlton is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 29 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 50,623 residents, and its roofs see 2.70 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,265 kWh of generation, of which around 5,328 kWh is exported at 12p for £639 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 Carlton's own yield, and at Carlton's 985 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 Carlton sits with Gedling, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Carlton generates around 6,265 kWh a year, worth around £886 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Carlton's own coordinates (52.97008, -1.08836), 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 Carlton?

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