How Hadleigh compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hadleigh. It is one of 16 Suffolk towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 9,099 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,072 kWh per kWp a year, 2.94 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £953 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £706 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Hadleigh's own yield, and at Hadleigh's 1,072 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.
Hadleigh sits within Babergh, 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.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Hadleigh generates around 6,818 kWh a year, worth around £952 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Hadleigh's own coordinates (52.04594, 0.96009), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.
