How Oswaldtwistle compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Oswaldtwistle. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 84th of 109 for solar yield, a town of 11,299 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 876 kWh per kWp a year, 2.40 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £803 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £556 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Oswaldtwistle's own yield, and at Oswaldtwistle's 876 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.
Oswaldtwistle sits within Hyndburn, 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.
