How North Berwick compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for North Berwick. It is one of 5 East Lothian towns we track, and it ranks 1st of 5 for solar yield, a town of 8,207 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 960 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £867 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £620 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to North Berwick's own yield, and at North Berwick's 960 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 East Lothian; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes North Berwick 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.

Do solar panels work in winter? Yes, just less than summer
Panels run on light, not sunshine. Cloud turns them down, not off. What that means for an awkward roof.

Every surplus kWh is 3.6 to 5 miles. Whether that beats a 7p overnight rate is arithmetic.

It moves heat rather than making it. The cycle, the efficiency numbers and the trade-offs.
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.
