How Paddock Wood compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Paddock Wood. It is one of 44 Kent towns we track, and it ranks 19th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 7,519 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,071 kWh per kWp a year, 2.93 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £952 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £705 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Paddock Wood's own yield, and at Paddock Wood's 1,071 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.
