How Aveley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Aveley. It is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks joint 32nd of 46 for solar yield, a town of 9,551 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,049 kWh per kWp a year, 2.87 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £935 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £688 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Aveley's own yield, and at Aveley's 1,049 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.
Thurrock is the planning authority covering Aveley, which the House of Commons Library classes 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 Aveley generates around 6,672 kWh a year, worth around £935 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Aveley's own coordinates (51.5003, 0.24827), 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.
