How Aberystwyth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Aberystwyth. It is the only Cardiganshire town we track so far, with county rankings to follow as its neighbours land, a town of 15,677 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 947 kWh per kWp a year, 2.60 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £857 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £610 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Aberystwyth's own yield, and at Aberystwyth's 947 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.
Aberystwyth sits within Ceredigion, 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 Aberystwyth generates around 6,023 kWh a year, worth around £857 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Aberystwyth's own coordinates (52.41013, -4.06825), 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.

Do solar panels work in winter? Yes, just less than summer
Panels run on light, not sunshine. Cloud turns them down, not off. What that means for an awkward roof.
