How Hawick compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hawick. It is the only Roxburghshire town we track so far, with county rankings to follow as its neighbours land, a town of 13,395 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 858 kWh per kWp a year, 2.35 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £789 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £542 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Hawick's own yield, and at Hawick's 858 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.
Planning applications here go through Scottish Borders; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Hawick 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.

Are solar panels worth it in 2026? Here is the actual maths
Roughly £1,000 per kWp installed, offsetting electricity at 26.32p a unit. The real arithmetic.

Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.
Read the guide →Are heat pumps worth it? The real 2026 numbers
Electricity costs 3.3x gas per kWh. A heat pump is about 3x as efficient. The numbers nearly cancel out.
