How Maldon compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Maldon. It is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks 9th of 46 for solar yield, a town of 24,473 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,086 kWh per kWp a year, 2.97 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £963 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £716 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Maldon's own yield, and at Maldon's 1,086 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 Maldon sits with Maldon, 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Maldon?
