How Kings Hill compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Kings Hill. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks joint 20th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 10,623 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,059 kWh per kWp a year, 2.90 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £943 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £696 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Kings Hill's own yield, and at Kings Hill's 1,059 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.
Kings Hill sits within Tonbridge and Malling, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.
