How Dùn Obhainn compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Dùn Obhainn. It is one of 3 Argyllshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 2nd of 3 for solar yield, a town of 7,552 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 800 kWh per kWp a year, 2.19 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £745 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £498 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Dùn Obhainn's own yield, and at Dùn Obhainn's 800 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 Argyll and Bute; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Dùn Obhainn 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.

What a solar service costs, and how often you actually need one
MCS advises a contractor visit at year 10 on a privately owned home. Most plans sell one a year.

Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.
