How Minster compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Minster. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 17,063 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,101 kWh per kWp a year, 3.02 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £975 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £728 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Minster's own yield, and at Minster's 1,101 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.
Swale is the planning authority covering Minster, which the House of Commons Library classes 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.
