How Northwich compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Northwich. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 14th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 19,633 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 942 kWh per kWp a year, 2.58 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £854 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £607 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Northwich's own yield, and at Northwich's 942 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.
Cheshire West and Chester is the planning authority covering Northwich, which the House of Commons Library classes as a 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 Northwich generates around 5,991 kWh a year, worth around £853 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Northwich's own coordinates (53.26032, -2.5133), 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 Northwich?

Your design call checks which applies in Northwich before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
