How Neston compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Neston. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 15,130 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 969 kWh per kWp a year, 2.65 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £874 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £627 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Neston's own yield, and at Neston's 969 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 Neston sits with Cheshire West and Chester, 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 Neston generates around 6,163 kWh a year, worth around £874 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Neston's own coordinates (53.29035, -3.06089), 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.
