How Newmarket compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Newmarket. It is one of 16 Suffolk towns we track, and it ranks 15th of 16 for solar yield, a town of 19,855 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,032 kWh per kWp a year, 2.83 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £922 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £675 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Newmarket's own yield, and at Newmarket's 1,032 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.
West Suffolk is the planning authority covering Newmarket, 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.

A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Newmarket before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
