How Armadale compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Armadale. It is the only Sutherland town we track so far, with county rankings to follow as its neighbours land, a town of 12,548 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 807 kWh per kWp a year, 2.21 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £751 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £504 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Armadale's own yield, and at Armadale's 807 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 Highland; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Armadale 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Armadale's own coordinates (58.55304, -4.08788), 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.
