How Crewe compares
Crewe is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 12th of 45 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 79,978 people. At 945 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.4 years on the 12p scenario: £855 of year one benefit against £6,360 of installed hardware, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Crewe's own yield, and at Crewe's 945 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.
Cheshire East is the planning authority covering Crewe, which the House of Commons Library classes as a large 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 Crewe generates around 6,010 kWh a year, worth around £855 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Crewe's own coordinates (53.09575, -2.44924), 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 Crewe
What could a roof in Crewe generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Crewe at 945 kWh per kWp a year, 2.59 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Crewe?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Crewe costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Crewe 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 Crewe before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Crewe?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,074 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £609. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.
