How Norton Canes compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Norton Canes. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 21st of 44 for solar yield, a town of 9,148 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 957 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £865 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £618 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Norton Canes's own yield, and at Norton Canes's 957 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 Cannock Chase; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Norton Canes 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.
