How Brecon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Brecon. It is the only Brecknockshire town we track so far, with county rankings to follow as its neighbours land, a town of 8,350 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 922 kWh per kWp a year, 2.53 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £838 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £591 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Brecon's own yield, and at Brecon's 922 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 Powys; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Brecon 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.
