What a roof in Eccles can generate
Real satellite data for Eccles, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Eccles compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Eccles is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 53rd of 109 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 42,713 residents, and its roofs see 2.50 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,807 kWh of generation, of which around 4,870 kWh is exported at 12p for £584 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 Eccles's own yield, and at Eccles's 913 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 Eccles sits with Salford, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Eccles generates around 5,807 kWh a year, worth around £831 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Eccles's own coordinates (53.48387, -2.35737), 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 Eccles
What could a roof in Eccles generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Eccles at 913 kWh per kWp a year, 2.50 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Eccles?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Eccles costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Eccles 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 Eccles before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Eccles?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 4,870 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £584. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Usually not, provided the installation stays within the limits updated on 27 August 2026.
Read the guide →Does a standalone battery actually pay back?
No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.
Read the guide →What it really costs to charge an EV at home versus in public
Home off-peak charging costs a fraction of the public price. The arithmetic, and the tariff it depends on.
Read the guide →Are heat pumps worth it? The real 2026 numbers
Electricity costs 3.3x gas per kWh. A heat pump is about 3x as efficient. The numbers nearly cancel out.

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.
