How Cwmbrân compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Cwmbrân is one of 16 Monmouthshire towns we track, and it ranks 4th of 16 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 48,107 residents, and its roofs see 2.80 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,500 kWh of generation, of which around 5,563 kWh is exported at 12p for £668 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 Cwmbrân's own yield, and at Cwmbrân's 1,022 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.
Cwmbrân sits within Torfaen, 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.
