How Great Notley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Great Notley. It is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks joint 22nd of 46 for solar yield, a town of 8,135 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,062 kWh per kWp a year, 2.91 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £945 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £698 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Great Notley's own yield, and at Great Notley's 1,062 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.
