How Ampthill compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Ampthill. It is one of 15 Bedfordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 7th of 15 for solar yield, a town of 9,107 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,024 kWh per kWp a year, 2.80 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £916 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £669 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Ampthill's own yield, and at Ampthill's 1,024 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.
Any planning application in Ampthill sits with Central Bedfordshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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 Ampthill generates around 6,513 kWh a year, worth around £916 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Ampthill's own coordinates (52.02561, -0.49549), 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.
