What a roof in Glastonbury can generate
Real satellite data for Glastonbury, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Glastonbury compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Glastonbury. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 7th of 21 for solar yield, a town of 8,443 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,033 kWh per kWp a year, 2.83 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £923 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £676 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Glastonbury's own yield, and at Glastonbury's 1,033 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.
Glastonbury sits within Somerset, 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 Glastonbury generates around 6,570 kWh a year, worth around £923 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Glastonbury's own coordinates (51.14788, -2.71734), 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 Glastonbury
What could a roof in Glastonbury generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Glastonbury at 1,033 kWh per kWp a year, 2.83 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Glastonbury?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Glastonbury costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Glastonbury 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 Glastonbury before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Glastonbury?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,633 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £676. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

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.
