How Keynsham compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Keynsham. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 11th of 21 for solar yield, a town of 20,584 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,020 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 £913 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £666 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Keynsham's own yield, and at Keynsham's 1,020 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.
