How Yarm compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Yarm. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks 108th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 9,883 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 921 kWh per kWp a year, 2.52 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £838 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £591 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Yarm's own yield, and at Yarm's 921 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 Stockton-on-Tees; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Yarm 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 Yarm generates around 5,858 kWh a year, worth around £837 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Yarm's own coordinates (54.49947, -1.34968), 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 Yarm
What could a roof in Yarm generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Yarm at 921 kWh per kWp a year, 2.52 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Yarm?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Yarm costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Yarm 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 Yarm before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Yarm?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 4,921 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £591. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Why your inverter is smaller than your panel array, and why that is correct
More panel capacity than inverter capacity is a deliberate design choice.
