How Murton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Murton. It is one of 35 Durham towns we track, and it ranks 5th of 35 for solar yield, a town of 7,519 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 976 kWh per kWp a year, 2.67 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £879 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £632 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Murton's own yield, and at Murton's 976 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 County Durham; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Murton 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Murton?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Murton costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.

Your design call checks which applies in Murton before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.

Do solar panels need direct sunlight? Not really, and here is why
