How Market Drayton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Market Drayton. It is one of 9 Shropshire towns we track, and it ranks 9th of 9 for solar yield, a town of 12,173 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 951 kWh per kWp a year, 2.61 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £860 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £613 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Market Drayton's own yield, and at Market Drayton's 951 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.

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.
