How Rosyth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Rosyth. It is one of 10 Fife towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 10 for solar yield, a town of 13,148 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 895 kWh per kWp a year, 2.45 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £818 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £571 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Rosyth's own yield, and at Rosyth's 895 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 Rosyth sits with Fife, 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 Rosyth generates around 5,692 kWh a year, worth around £817 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Rosyth's own coordinates (56.03604, -3.41649), 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 Rosyth
What could a roof in Rosyth generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Rosyth at 895 kWh per kWp a year, 2.45 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Rosyth?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Rosyth costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Rosyth 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 Rosyth before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
