How Southwick compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Southwick. It is one of 33 Sussex towns we track, and it ranks 12th of 33 for solar yield, a town of 12,210 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,146 kWh per kWp a year, 3.14 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £1,009 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £762 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Southwick's own yield, and at Southwick's 1,146 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 Southwick sits with Adur, 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 Southwick generates around 7,289 kWh a year, worth around £1,009 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Southwick's own coordinates (50.83704, -0.23417), 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 Southwick?

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