How Ebbw Vale compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Ebbw Vale. It is one of 16 Monmouthshire towns we track, and it ranks 16th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 18,908 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 945 kWh per kWp a year, 2.59 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £856 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £609 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Ebbw Vale's own yield, and at Ebbw Vale's 945 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.
