How Kidderminster compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Kidderminster is one of 13 Worcestershire towns we track, and it ranks 8th of 13 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 58,550 residents, and its roofs see 2.69 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,246 kWh of generation, of which around 5,309 kWh is exported at 12p for £637 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Kidderminster's own yield, and at Kidderminster's 982 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 Kidderminster sits with Wyre Forest, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is medium 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.
