How Peacehaven compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Peacehaven. It is one of 33 Sussex towns we track, and it ranks joint 7th of 33 for solar yield, a town of 16,350 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,158 kWh per kWp a year, 3.17 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £1,018 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £771 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Peacehaven's own yield, and at Peacehaven's 1,158 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.
Lewes is the planning authority covering Peacehaven, 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.
