How Radcliffe compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Radcliffe is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 72nd of 109 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 32,155 residents, and its roofs see 2.45 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,679 kWh of generation, of which around 4,743 kWh is exported at 12p for £569 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 Radcliffe's own yield, and at Radcliffe's 893 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.
Radcliffe sits within Bury, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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 Radcliffe generates around 5,679 kWh a year, worth around £816 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Radcliffe's own coordinates (53.56357, -2.32756), 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.

A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Radcliffe before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
