How Irthlingborough compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Irthlingborough. It is one of 16 Northamptonshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 9,539 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,021 kWh per kWp a year, 2.80 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £914 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £667 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Irthlingborough's own yield, and at Irthlingborough's 1,021 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.
Any planning application in Irthlingborough sits with North Northamptonshire, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is small town.
