How Caversham compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Caversham is one of 10 Oxfordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 2nd of 10 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 32,846 residents, and its roofs see 2.81 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,519 kWh of generation, of which around 5,582 kWh is exported at 12p for £670 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 Caversham's own yield, and at Caversham's 1,025 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.
Caversham sits within Reading, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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 Caversham generates around 6,519 kWh a year, worth around £916 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Caversham's own coordinates (51.4767, -0.97071), 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 Caversham
What could a roof in Caversham generate?

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

Why solar panels stop working, and how to work out which one it is
