How Raunds compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Raunds. It is one of 16 Northamptonshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 1st of 16 for solar yield, a town of 10,779 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,031 kWh per kWp a year, 2.82 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £921 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £674 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Raunds's own yield, and at Raunds's 1,031 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 Raunds sits with North Northamptonshire, 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 Raunds generates around 6,557 kWh a year, worth around £921 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Raunds's own coordinates (52.34496, -0.54311), 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.

Why your inverter is smaller than your panel array, and why that is correct
More panel capacity than inverter capacity is a deliberate design choice.

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