How Neath compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Neath is one of 32 Glamorgan towns we track, and it ranks 19th of 32 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 40,953 residents, and its roofs see 2.73 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,335 kWh of generation, of which around 5,398 kWh is exported at 12p for £648 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 Neath's own yield, and at Neath's 996 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.
Neath sits within Neath Port Talbot, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a 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 Neath generates around 6,335 kWh a year, worth around £894 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Neath's own coordinates (51.66139, -3.81746), 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Neath?

Would a system in Neath need a G99 application?

A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Neath before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
