How New Mills compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for New Mills. It is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks 27th of 28 for solar yield, a town of 9,137 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 870 kWh per kWp a year, 2.38 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £799 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £552 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to New Mills's own yield, and at New Mills's 870 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.
New Mills sits within High Peak, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.

Solar panel types, and the four numbers that actually matter
TOPCon, HJT and back contact decoded, plus the four numbers worth comparing.
Read the guide →How much a battery saves by charging on cheap night rates
What charging at 8p and using at 26.11p is actually worth over a year.
Read the guide →What it really costs to charge an EV at home versus in public
Home off-peak charging costs a fraction of the public price. The arithmetic, and the tariff it depends on.
Read the guide →Heat pump running costs versus a gas boiler, assumptions shown
Four numbers decide it: seasonal efficiency, flow temperature, tariff and heat demand.
Read the guide →The price cap explained, and what it does to solar payback
The cap limits unit rates, not bills. That changes what solar payback means.
