How Old Trafford compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Old Trafford. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 58th of 109 for solar yield, a town of 23,497 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 908 kWh per kWp a year, 2.49 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £828 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £581 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Old Trafford's own yield, and at Old Trafford's 908 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.
Trafford is the planning authority covering Old Trafford, 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.
