How Wigtownshire compares
Wigtownshire ranks 33rd of the 85 counties we track for solar yield, 15% above the Scotland average of our estimates. At 2.65 peak sun hours a day the sums lean on a healthy mix: £247 of the year one benefit here comes from solar you use yourself, with export at 12p adding £626.
A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Wigtownshire generates around 6,150 kWh a year, worth around £872 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
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.
