How Port Talbot compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Port Talbot is one of 32 Glamorgan towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 32 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 31,751 residents, and its roofs see 2.81 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,525 kWh of generation, of which around 5,589 kWh is exported at 12p for £671 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 Port Talbot's own yield, and at Port Talbot's 1,026 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.

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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Port Talbot?
