How Crowborough compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Crowborough. It is one of 33 Sussex towns we track, and it ranks 31st of 33 for solar yield, a town of 22,977 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,054 kWh per kWp a year, 2.89 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £939 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £692 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Crowborough's own yield, and at Crowborough's 1,054 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 Crowborough sits with Wealden, 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 Crowborough generates around 6,703 kWh a year, worth around £939 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Crowborough's own coordinates (51.05306, 0.16414), 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 Crowborough?

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