How Burnham-on-Sea compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Burnham-on-Sea. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 21 for solar yield, a town of 16,114 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,049 kWh per kWp a year, 2.87 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £935 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £688 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Burnham-on-Sea's own yield, and at Burnham-on-Sea's 1,049 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 Burnham-on-Sea sits with Somerset, 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.
