How Berkhamsted compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Berkhamsted. It is one of 27 Hertfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 26th of 27 for solar yield, a town of 21,665 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,007 kWh per kWp a year, 2.76 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £903 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £656 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Berkhamsted's own yield, and at Berkhamsted's 1,007 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.
