How Hexham compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Hexham. It is one of 18 Northumberland towns we track, and it ranks 18th of 18 for solar yield, a town of 11,264 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 917 kWh per kWp a year, 2.51 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £834 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £587 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Hexham's own yield, and at Hexham's 917 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 Northumberland; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Hexham 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.
