How Radstock compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Radstock. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 21st of 21 for solar yield, a town of 10,216 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,003 kWh per kWp a year, 2.75 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £900 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £653 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Radstock's own yield, and at Radstock's 1,003 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 Radstock sits with Bath and North East Somerset, 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.
