How Penwortham compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Penwortham. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks joint 55th of 109 for solar yield, a town of 20,842 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 909 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 Penwortham's own yield, and at Penwortham's 909 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.
Any planning application in Penwortham sits with South Ribble, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.

G98 vs G99: the 28-day form and the eight-week wait, in plain English
One number on your quote decides between a formality and an eight week wait.

Without a gateway your system shuts down when the grid does. Here is what the box actually does.
Read the guide →Three phase and EV charging: what actually changes
Three phase buys 22kW charging. Most cars cannot use it, and load balancing usually solves the real problem.
Read the guide →Are heat pumps worth it? The real 2026 numbers
Electricity costs 3.3x gas per kWh. A heat pump is about 3x as efficient. The numbers nearly cancel out.
Read the guide →Which tariffs are actually built for battery charging
A battery buys cheap and uses dear. The tariff decides how much that is worth.
