How Northfleet compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Northfleet is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 27th of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 31,997 residents, and its roofs see 2.88 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,691 kWh of generation, of which around 5,754 kWh is exported at 12p for £690 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 Northfleet's own yield, and at Northfleet's 1,052 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 Northfleet sits with Gravesham, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Northfleet generates around 6,691 kWh a year, worth around £937 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Northfleet's own coordinates (51.43706, 0.34076), 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 Northfleet?
