How Chorleywood compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Chorleywood. It is one of 27 Hertfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 25th of 27 for solar yield, a town of 12,896 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,011 kWh per kWp a year, 2.77 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £906 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £659 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Chorleywood's own yield, and at Chorleywood's 1,011 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.
Planning applications here go through Three Rivers; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Chorleywood as a 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.
