How Reigate compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Reigate is one of 47 Surrey towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 47 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 25,060 residents, and its roofs see 2.85 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,614 kWh of generation, of which around 5,678 kWh is exported at 12p for £681 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 Reigate's own yield, and at Reigate's 1,040 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 Reigate and Banstead; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Reigate 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 Reigate generates around 6,614 kWh a year, worth around £928 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Reigate's own coordinates (51.23701, -0.20193), 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 Reigate
What could a roof in Reigate generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Reigate at 1,040 kWh per kWp a year, 2.85 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Reigate?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Reigate costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Reigate 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 Reigate before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
