Real satellite data for Selby, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Selby compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Selby. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 34th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 20,033 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 966 kWh per kWp a year, 2.65 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £872 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £625 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Selby's own yield, and at Selby's 966 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 North Yorkshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Selby 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 Selby generates around 6,144 kWh a year, worth around £871 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Selby's own coordinates (53.78008, -1.06806), 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Selby?

A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Selby before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
