How Ponteland compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Ponteland. It is one of 18 Northumberland towns we track, and it ranks 16th of 18 for solar yield, a town of 10,831 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 937 kWh per kWp a year, 2.57 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £850 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £603 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Ponteland's own yield, and at Ponteland's 937 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 Ponteland sits with Northumberland, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Ponteland generates around 5,959 kWh a year, worth around £849 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Ponteland's own coordinates (55.04045, -1.75836), 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 Ponteland?
