Real satellite data for Shrewsbury, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Shrewsbury compares
Shrewsbury is one of 9 Shropshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 9 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 79,040 people. At 969 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 7.3 years on the 12p scenario: £874 of year one benefit against £6,360 of installed hardware, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Shrewsbury's own yield, and at Shrewsbury's 969 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.
Shrewsbury sits within Shropshire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a large 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 Shrewsbury generates around 6,163 kWh a year, worth around £874 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Shrewsbury's own coordinates (52.71161, -2.74989), 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 Shrewsbury
What could a roof in Shrewsbury generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Shrewsbury at 969 kWh per kWp a year, 2.65 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Shrewsbury?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Shrewsbury costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Shrewsbury?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,226 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £627. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

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.
