What a roof in Stroud can generate
Real satellite data for Stroud, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Stroud compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Stroud is one of 24 Gloucestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 15th of 24 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 26,560 residents, and its roofs see 2.73 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,347 kWh of generation, of which around 5,411 kWh is exported at 12p for £649 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 Stroud's own yield, and at Stroud's 998 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 Stroud sits with Stroud, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Stroud?

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