How Redruth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Redruth. It is one of 14 Cornwall towns we track, and it ranks 12th of 14 for solar yield, a town of 16,113 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,038 kWh per kWp a year, 2.84 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £927 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £680 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Redruth's own yield, and at Redruth's 1,038 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.
Cornwall is the planning authority covering Redruth, which the House of Commons Library classes 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 Redruth generates around 6,602 kWh a year, worth around £926 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Redruth's own coordinates (50.23574, -5.22637), 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 Redruth
What could a roof in Redruth generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Redruth at 1,038 kWh per kWp a year, 2.84 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Redruth?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Redruth costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Redruth 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 Redruth before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Redruth?

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.
