How Romsey compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Romsey. It is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 33rd of 45 for solar yield, a town of 20,063 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,063 kWh per kWp a year, 2.91 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £946 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £699 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Romsey's own yield, and at Romsey's 1,063 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 Romsey sits with Test Valley, 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.
