How Cramlington compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Cramlington is one of 18 Northumberland towns we track, and it ranks joint 12th of 18 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 30,208 residents, and its roofs see 2.61 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,055 kWh of generation, of which around 5,118 kWh is exported at 12p for £614 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 Cramlington's own yield, and at Cramlington's 952 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.
Cramlington sits within Northumberland, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.
