How Flitwick compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Flitwick. It is one of 15 Bedfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 9th of 15 for solar yield, a town of 13,882 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,023 kWh per kWp a year, 2.80 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £915 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £668 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Flitwick's own yield, and at Flitwick's 1,023 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 Flitwick sits with Central Bedfordshire, 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 Flitwick generates around 6,506 kWh a year, worth around £915 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Flitwick's own coordinates (52.00484, -0.49771), 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 Flitwick
What could a roof in Flitwick generate?

Would a system in Flitwick 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 Flitwick before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

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.
