How Canvey Island compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Canvey Island is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 46 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 38,242 residents, and its roofs see 2.96 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,862 kWh of generation, of which around 5,926 kWh is exported at 12p for £711 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 Canvey Island's own yield, and at Canvey Island's 1,079 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.
Castle Point is the planning authority covering Canvey Island, which the House of Commons Library classes as a 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.

How to size a solar and battery system, properly
Usage, storage, connection, array. Four decisions, and the order between them matters.
