How Didcot compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Didcot is one of 20 Berkshire towns we track, and it ranks 1st of 20 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 37,233 residents, and its roofs see 2.85 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,614 kWh of generation, of which around 5,678 kWh is exported at 12p for £681 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 Didcot's own yield, and at Didcot's 1,040 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.
Planning applications here go through South Oxfordshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Didcot 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 Didcot generates around 6,614 kWh a year, worth around £928 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Didcot's own coordinates (51.60944, -1.25007), 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 Didcot
What could a roof in Didcot generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Didcot?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Didcot costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Didcot 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 Didcot before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Didcot?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,678 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £681. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Reading for Didcot homeowners
Independent, sourced and dated. The same ground we cover on your free call.
Why your inverter is smaller than your panel array, and why that is correct
More panel capacity than inverter capacity is a deliberate design choice.

No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.

Granny cable, 7kW wall unit or 22kW three phase. What each adds per hour, and which you need.
Read the guide →Do you need to replace your radiators for a heat pump?
Some change, most do not. The room by room arithmetic that decides which.
Read the guide →Why tariff choice moves payback more than kit choice
Identical kit, five times the export income. The tariff decision worked through with August 2026 rates.
Read the guide →G98 or G99: which one applies, what the application involves, and how long it takes
The G98 line sits at 3.68kW per phase. Above it, your network operator has to say yes first.

Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.

PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
