How Sudbury compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Sudbury is one of 16 Suffolk towns we track, and it ranks 11th of 16 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 25,051 residents, and its roofs see 2.89 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,703 kWh of generation, of which around 5,767 kWh is exported at 12p for £692 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 Sudbury's own yield, and at Sudbury's 1,054 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.
Babergh is the planning authority covering Sudbury, which the House of Commons Library classes 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 Sudbury generates around 6,703 kWh a year, worth around £939 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Sudbury's own coordinates (52.03824, 0.74001), 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 Sudbury
What could a roof in Sudbury generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Sudbury at 1,054 kWh per kWp a year, 2.89 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Sudbury?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Sudbury costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Sudbury 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 Sudbury before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Sudbury?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,767 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £692. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

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.
