How Renfrew compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Renfrew. It is one of 11 Renfrewshire towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 11 for solar yield, a town of 22,944 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 860 kWh per kWp a year, 2.36 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £791 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £544 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Renfrew's own yield, and at Renfrew's 860 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 Renfrew sits with Renfrewshire, 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 Renfrew generates around 5,470 kWh a year, worth around £790 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Renfrew's own coordinates (55.8799, -4.38528), 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 Renfrew
What could a roof in Renfrew generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Renfrew at 860 kWh per kWp a year, 2.36 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Renfrew?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Renfrew costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Renfrew 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 Renfrew before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Renfrew?

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.
