How Ferryhill compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Ferryhill. It is one of 35 Durham towns we track, and it ranks 14th of 35 for solar yield, a town of 8,869 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 949 kWh per kWp a year, 2.60 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £859 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £612 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Ferryhill's own yield, and at Ferryhill's 949 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 County Durham; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Ferryhill 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.
