How Lydney compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Lydney. It is one of 24 Gloucestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 1st of 24 for solar yield, a town of 10,728 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,024 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £916 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £669 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Lydney's own yield, and at Lydney's 1,024 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 Lydney sits with Forest of Dean, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.
