What a roof in Perth can generate
Real satellite data for Perth, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Perth compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Perth is one of 3 Perthshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 3 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 46,379 residents, and its roofs see 2.47 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,730 kWh of generation, of which around 4,794 kWh is exported at 12p for £575 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 Perth's own yield, and at Perth's 901 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 Perth and Kinross; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Perth 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 Perth generates around 5,730 kWh a year, worth around £822 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Perth's own coordinates (56.39547, -3.4389), 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 Perth
What could a roof in Perth generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Perth at 901 kWh per kWp a year, 2.47 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Perth?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Perth costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Perth 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 Perth before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Perth?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 4,794 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £575. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

How long do solar panels last? 25 to 30 years, in practice
The panels outlast the inverter by a wide margin. Plan for that, not for cleaning.

Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.

PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
