How Chipping Sodbury compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Chipping Sodbury. It is one of 24 Gloucestershire towns we track, and it ranks 10th of 24 for solar yield, a town of 8,084 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,006 kWh per kWp a year, 2.76 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £902 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £655 from export at 12p.
