How Lymm compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Lymm. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 19th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 12,195 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 930 kWh per kWp a year, 2.55 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £844 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £597 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Lymm's own yield, and at Lymm's 930 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 Warrington; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Lymm 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 Lymm generates around 5,915 kWh a year, worth around £844 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Lymm's own coordinates (53.38004, -2.47637), 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 Lymm
What could a roof in Lymm generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Lymm at 930 kWh per kWp a year, 2.55 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Lymm?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Lymm costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Lymm 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 Lymm before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Lymm?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 4,978 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £597. 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.
