How Forest Town compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Forest Town. It is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks 22nd of 29 for solar yield, a town of 19,507 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 971 kWh per kWp a year, 2.66 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £876 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £629 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Forest Town's own yield, and at Forest Town's 971 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.
Forest Town sits within Mansfield, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.
