How Midsomer Norton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Midsomer Norton. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 20th of 21 for solar yield, a town of 13,844 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,005 kWh per kWp a year, 2.75 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £902 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £655 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Midsomer Norton's own yield, and at Midsomer Norton's 1,005 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.
Planning applications here go through Bath and North East Somerset; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Midsomer Norton 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.
