How Stretford compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Stretford is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 58th of 109 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 28,601 residents, and its roofs see 2.49 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,775 kWh of generation, of which around 4,838 kWh is exported at 12p for £581 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Stretford's own yield, and at Stretford's 908 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 Trafford; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Stretford as a medium 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 Stretford generates around 5,775 kWh a year, worth around £827 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Stretford's own coordinates (53.45035, -2.31128), 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 Stretford
What could a roof in Stretford generate?

What does a typical solar system cost in Stretford?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Stretford costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Stretford 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 Stretford before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

How to size a solar and battery system, properly
Usage, storage, connection, array. Four decisions, and the order between them matters.
Read the guide →Inside a home battery: capacity, power and losses
Usable capacity, kW output, round trip losses and chemistry, in plain terms.
Read the guide →Charging an EV from your own solar
Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.
Read the guide →Heat pump running costs versus a gas boiler, assumptions shown
Four numbers decide it: seasonal efficiency, flow temperature, tariff and heat demand.
Read the guide →What the Smart Export Guarantee actually is
The scheme obliges suppliers to pay above zero, and leaves the rate to them.

Solar work is notifiable. A competent person scheme means your installation team notifies, not you.

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