How Stevenage compares
Stevenage is one of 27 Hertfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 27 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 96,844 people. At 1,025 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 6.9 years on the 12p scenario: £916 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 Stevenage's own yield, and at Stevenage's 1,025 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.

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 Stevenage generates around 6,519 kWh a year, worth around £916 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Stevenage's own coordinates (51.90539, -0.18741), 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 Stevenage
What could a roof in Stevenage generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Stevenage at 1,025 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Stevenage?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Stevenage costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Stevenage 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 Stevenage before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Stevenage?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,582 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £670. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Why solar panels stop working, and how to work out which one it is
There is an order to this, and it starts at the inverter display rather than the roof.

The 1 metre boundary rule is gone. A 37 dB(A) sound test replaced it.
Read the guide →The price cap explained, and what it does to solar payback
The cap limits unit rates, not bills. That changes what solar payback means.

The G98 line sits at 3.68kW per phase. Above it, your network operator has to say yes first.

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

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.
