How Horbury compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Horbury. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 64th of 122 for solar yield, a town of 9,905 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 952 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £861 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £614 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Horbury's own yield, and at Horbury's 952 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 Wakefield; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Horbury 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.

Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Horbury's own coordinates (53.66035, -1.55518), 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Horbury?
