How Carluke compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Carluke. It is one of 18 Lanarkshire towns we track, and it ranks 14th of 18 for solar yield, a town of 13,916 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 846 kWh per kWp a year, 2.32 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £780 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £533 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Carluke's own yield, and at Carluke's 846 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 Carluke sits with South Lanarkshire, 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 Carluke generates around 5,381 kWh a year, worth around £780 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Carluke's own coordinates (55.73484, -3.84027), 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 Carluke?
