How Knottingley compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Knottingley. It is one of 122 Yorkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 22nd of 122 for solar yield, a town of 10,036 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 973 kWh per kWp a year, 2.67 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £877 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £630 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Knottingley's own yield, and at Knottingley's 973 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.
Knottingley sits within Wakefield, 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.
