How Redcar compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Redcar is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 78th of 122 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 38,055 residents, and its roofs see 2.59 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,017 kWh of generation, of which around 5,080 kWh is exported at 12p for £610 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 Redcar's own yield, and at Redcar's 946 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 Redcar sits with Redcar and Cleveland, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Redcar generates around 6,017 kWh a year, worth around £856 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Redcar's own coordinates (54.60971, -1.0897), 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 Redcar
What could a roof in Redcar generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Redcar at 946 kWh per kWp a year, 2.59 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Redcar?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Redcar costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Redcar 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 Redcar before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Redcar?

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.
