How Prescot compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Prescot is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks 25th of 109 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 41,278 residents, and its roofs see 2.59 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,004 kWh of generation, of which around 5,067 kWh is exported at 12p for £608 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 Prescot's own yield, and at Prescot's 944 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.
Knowsley is the planning authority covering Prescot, 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.
