How Banbury compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Banbury is one of 10 Oxfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 10 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 56,457 residents, and its roofs see 2.78 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,443 kWh of generation, of which around 5,506 kWh is exported at 12p for £661 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Banbury's own yield, and at Banbury's 1,013 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 Banbury sits with Cherwell, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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.
