How Thame compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Thame. It is one of 10 Oxfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 9th of 10 for solar yield, a town of 13,259 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,009 kWh per kWp a year, 2.76 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £905 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £658 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Thame's own yield, and at Thame's 1,009 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 Thame sits with South Oxfordshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Thame generates around 6,417 kWh a year, worth around £904 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Thame's own coordinates (51.7455, -0.97436), 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.

Your design call checks which applies in Thame before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

Are solar panels worth it in 2026? Here is the actual maths
Roughly £1,000 per kWp installed, offsetting electricity at 26.32p a unit. The real arithmetic.
Read the guide →Does a standalone battery actually pay back?
No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.
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 →Do you need to replace your radiators for a heat pump?
Some change, most do not. The room by room arithmetic that decides which.
Read the guide →EV tariffs compared: the cheapest overnight windows
Overnight rates of 6.99p to 9p against a 26.11p capped average, compared.

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.
