How Coatbridge compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Coatbridge is one of 18 Lanarkshire towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 18 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 41,835 residents, and its roofs see 2.33 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,400 kWh of generation, of which around 4,463 kWh is exported at 12p for £536 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 Coatbridge's own yield, and at Coatbridge's 849 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.

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.
