How Broughton Astley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Broughton Astley. It is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 9th of 26 for solar yield, a town of 10,175 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 991 kWh per kWp a year, 2.72 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £891 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £644 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Broughton Astley's own yield, and at Broughton Astley's 991 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.
