How Potters Bar compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Potters Bar. It is one of 23 Middlesex towns we track, and it ranks joint 5th of 23 for solar yield, a town of 23,545 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,026 kWh per kWp a year, 2.81 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £918 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £671 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Potters Bar's own yield, and at Potters Bar'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.
