How Snodland compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Snodland. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks joint 28th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 12,239 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,051 kWh per kWp a year, 2.88 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £937 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £690 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Snodland's own yield, and at Snodland's 1,051 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 Snodland sits with Tonbridge and Malling, 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 Snodland generates around 6,684 kWh a year, worth around £936 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Snodland's own coordinates (51.32807, 0.44179), 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.
