How Altrincham compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Altrincham is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 22nd of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 50,024 residents, and its roofs see 2.52 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,864 kWh of generation, of which around 4,927 kWh is exported at 12p for £591 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 Altrincham's own yield, and at Altrincham's 922 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 Trafford; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Altrincham 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.
