How Flint compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Flint. It is one of 8 Flintshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 3rd of 8 for solar yield, a town of 13,075 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 962 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £869 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £622 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Flint's own yield, and at Flint's 962 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 Flintshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Flint 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 Flint generates around 6,118 kWh a year, worth around £868 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Flint's own coordinates (53.24503, -3.13497), 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 Flint
What could a roof in Flint generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Flint at 962 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Flint?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Flint costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Flint 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 Flint before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Flint?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,182 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £622. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

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.
