How Cambuslang compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Cambuslang is one of 18 Lanarkshire towns we track, and it ranks 5th of 18 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 44,078 residents, and its roofs see 2.36 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,489 kWh of generation, of which around 4,552 kWh is exported at 12p for £546 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Cambuslang's own yield, and at Cambuslang's 863 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 Cambuslang sits with South Lanarkshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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.
