Real satellite data for Newbury, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Newbury compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Newbury is one of 20 Berkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 2nd of 20 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 45,844 residents, and its roofs see 2.83 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,576 kWh of generation, of which around 5,640 kWh is exported at 12p for £677 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 Newbury's own yield, and at Newbury's 1,034 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.
Newbury sits within West Berkshire, 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 Newbury generates around 6,576 kWh a year, worth around £923 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Newbury's own coordinates (51.39833, -1.32283), 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 Newbury

What does a typical solar system cost in Newbury?

Would a system in Newbury 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 Newbury before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Newbury?
