How Bourne compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Bourne. It is one of 22 Lincolnshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 8th of 22 for solar yield, a town of 19,042 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,028 kWh per kWp a year, 2.82 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £919 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £672 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Bourne's own yield, and at Bourne's 1,028 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 Bourne sits with South Kesteven, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.
