How Marple compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Marple. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 40th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 13,304 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 866 kWh per kWp a year, 2.37 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £796 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £549 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Marple's own yield, and at Marple's 866 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 Marple sits with Stockport, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Marple generates around 5,508 kWh a year, worth around £795 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Marple's own coordinates (53.39403, -2.06893), 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 Marple
What could a roof in Marple generate?

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

Home off-peak charging costs a fraction of the public price. The arithmetic, and the tariff it depends on.

Identical kit, five times the export income. The tariff decision worked through with August 2026 rates.
