How Largs compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Largs. It is one of 11 Ayrshire towns we track, and it ranks 10th of 11 for solar yield, a town of 10,693 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 881 kWh per kWp a year, 2.41 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £807 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £560 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Largs's own yield, and at Largs's 881 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 North Ayrshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Largs 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 Largs generates around 5,603 kWh a year, worth around £807 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Largs's own coordinates (55.7943, -4.8694), 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 Largs
What could a roof in Largs generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Largs?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Largs costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Largs 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 Largs before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.

UK median installed cost around £12,908, before the up to £7,500 grant comes off.
