How Patchway compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Patchway. It is one of 24 Gloucestershire towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 24 for solar yield, a town of 18,255 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,013 kWh per kWp a year, 2.77 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £908 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £661 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Patchway's own yield, and at Patchway's 1,013 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.
Planning applications here go through South Gloucestershire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Patchway 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 Patchway generates around 6,443 kWh a year, worth around £907 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Patchway's own coordinates (51.53111, -2.58491), 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 Patchway?

Would a system in Patchway 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 Patchway before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
