How Esher compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Esher. It is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks joint 24th of 47 for solar yield, a town of 9,642 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,024 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £916 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £669 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Esher's own yield, and at Esher's 1,024 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 Esher sits with Elmbridge, 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 Esher generates around 6,513 kWh a year, worth around £916 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Esher's own coordinates (51.36958, -0.36589), 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 Esher?

Your design call checks which applies in Esher before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
