How Stone compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Stone. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks 33rd of 44 for solar yield, a town of 17,770 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 951 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £860 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £613 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Stone's own yield, and at Stone's 951 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 Stafford; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Stone 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 Stone generates around 6,048 kWh a year, worth around £860 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Stone's own coordinates (52.89662, -2.14502), 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.

Would a system in Stone 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 Stone before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
