How Eastwood compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Eastwood. It is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 23rd of 29 for solar yield, a town of 19,652 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 970 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £875 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £628 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Eastwood's own yield, and at Eastwood's 970 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.
Eastwood sits within Broxtowe, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a 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 Eastwood generates around 6,169 kWh a year, worth around £874 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Eastwood's own coordinates (53.0148, -1.29672), 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 Eastwood?

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