How Berechurch compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Berechurch. It is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 46 for solar yield, a town of 7,826 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,091 kWh per kWp a year, 2.99 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £967 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £720 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Berechurch's own yield, and at Berechurch's 1,091 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 Colchester; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Berechurch 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.
