How Dalgety Bay compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Dalgety Bay. It is one of 10 Fife towns we track, and it ranks 5th of 10 for solar yield, a town of 9,405 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 896 kWh per kWp a year, 2.45 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £818 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £571 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Dalgety Bay's own yield, and at Dalgety Bay's 896 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 Fife; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Dalgety Bay 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.
