How Grove compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Grove. It is one of 20 Berkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 2nd of 20 for solar yield, a town of 8,406 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,034 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 £924 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £677 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Grove's own yield, and at Grove's 1,034 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 Vale of White Horse; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Grove 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 Grove generates around 6,576 kWh a year, worth around £923 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Grove's own coordinates (51.60885, -1.42391), 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 Grove
What could a roof in Grove generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Grove?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Grove costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Grove 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 Grove before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Grove?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,640 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £677. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

How to size a solar and battery system, properly
Usage, storage, connection, array. Four decisions, and the order between them matters.

Whole home backup sounds obvious until you do the runtime maths. Here is how to choose the right tier.
Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.

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.
