How Gorleston-on-Sea compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Gorleston-on-Sea. It is one of 16 Suffolk towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 24,424 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,068 kWh per kWp a year, 2.93 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £950 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £703 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Gorleston-on-Sea's own yield, and at Gorleston-on-Sea's 1,068 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.
