How Pontypool compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Pontypool is one of 16 Monmouthshire towns we track, and it ranks 7th of 16 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 28,789 residents, and its roofs see 2.72 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,315 kWh of generation, of which around 5,379 kWh is exported at 12p for £645 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Pontypool's own yield, and at Pontypool's 993 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.
Torfaen is the planning authority covering Pontypool, which the House of Commons Library classes as a medium 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.
