Real satellite data for Leigh, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Leigh compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Leigh is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks 43rd of 109 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 49,673 residents, and its roofs see 2.54 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,889 kWh of generation, of which around 4,953 kWh is exported at 12p for £594 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Leigh's own yield, and at Leigh's 926 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 Leigh sits with Wigan, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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 Leigh generates around 5,889 kWh a year, worth around £841 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Leigh's own coordinates (53.49837, -2.52036), 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 Leigh
What could a roof in Leigh generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Leigh at 926 kWh per kWp a year, 2.54 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Leigh?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Leigh costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Leigh 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 Leigh before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Leigh?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 4,953 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £594. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Solar panel types, and the four numbers that actually matter

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.
