How Great Dunmow compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Great Dunmow. It is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks joint 28th of 46 for solar yield, a town of 10,764 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,055 kWh per kWp a year, 2.89 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £940 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £693 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Great Dunmow's own yield, and at Great Dunmow's 1,055 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.
