How Annfield Plain compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Annfield Plain. It is one of 35 Durham towns we track, and it ranks 25th of 35 for solar yield, a town of 7,857 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 939 kWh per kWp a year, 2.57 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £851 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £604 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Annfield Plain's own yield, and at Annfield Plain's 939 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.
Annfield Plain sits within County Durham, 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.
