How Yeovil compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Yeovil is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 21 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 51,778 residents, and its roofs see 2.85 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,621 kWh of generation, of which around 5,684 kWh is exported at 12p for £682 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 Yeovil's own yield, and at Yeovil's 1,041 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.
Yeovil sits within Somerset, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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 Yeovil generates around 6,621 kWh a year, worth around £929 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Yeovil's own coordinates (50.94588, -2.64401), 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 Yeovil
What could a roof in Yeovil generate?
PVGIS puts a roof in Yeovil at 1,041 kWh per kWp a year, 2.85 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.
What does a typical solar system cost in Yeovil?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Yeovil costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Yeovil 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 Yeovil before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Yeovil?
On the 12p export scenario, that 12 panel system sends about 5,684 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £682. The tariff guide compares the export rates that could apply to your setup.

Why solar panels stop working, and how to work out which one it is
There is an order to this, and it starts at the inverter display rather than the roof.

Without a gateway your system shuts down when the grid does. Here is what the box actually does.
Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.

The scheme obliges suppliers to pay above zero, and leaves the rate to them.

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.
