How Wetherby compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Wetherby. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 46th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 11,594 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 958 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £866 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £619 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Wetherby's own yield, and at Wetherby's 958 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.
Wetherby sits within Leeds, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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 Wetherby generates around 6,093 kWh a year, worth around £865 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Wetherby's own coordinates (53.93373, -1.38916), 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 Wetherby 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.

Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.
