How Poynton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Poynton. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 37th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 13,675 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 874 kWh per kWp a year, 2.39 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £802 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £555 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Poynton's own yield, and at Poynton's 874 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 Cheshire East; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Poynton 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 Poynton generates around 5,559 kWh a year, worth around £801 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Poynton's own coordinates (53.3476, -2.11887), 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 Poynton
What could a roof in Poynton generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Poynton?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Poynton costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Poynton 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 Poynton before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

How to size a solar and battery system, properly
Usage, storage, connection, array. Four decisions, and the order between them matters.
Read the guide →Which battery size band does your home fall into?
Where UK homes actually land, why oversizing costs you, and what shifts the band.
Read the guide →Charging an EV from your own solar
Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.
Read the guide →Heat pump running costs versus a gas boiler, assumptions shown
Four numbers decide it: seasonal efficiency, flow temperature, tariff and heat demand.
Read the guide →What the Smart Export Guarantee actually is
The scheme obliges suppliers to pay above zero, and leaves the rate to them.

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.
