How Bury St Edmunds compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Bury St Edmunds is one of 16 Suffolk towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 16 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 43,824 residents, and its roofs see 2.86 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,627 kWh of generation, of which around 5,690 kWh is exported at 12p for £683 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.

The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Bury St Edmunds's own yield, and at Bury St Edmunds's 1,042 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.
