How Balderton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Balderton. It is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks 1st of 29 for solar yield, a town of 9,816 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,000 kWh per kWp a year, 2.74 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £898 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £651 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Balderton's own yield, and at Balderton's 1,000 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 Newark and Sherwood; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Balderton 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 Balderton generates around 6,360 kWh a year, worth around £897 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Balderton's own coordinates (53.0578, -0.78364), 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.
