How Royton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Royton. It is one of 109 Lancashire towns we track, and it ranks 104th of 109 for solar yield, a town of 23,892 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 854 kWh per kWp a year, 2.34 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £786 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £539 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Royton's own yield, and at Royton's 854 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 Royton sits with Oldham, 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.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Royton generates around 5,431 kWh a year, worth around £786 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Royton's own coordinates (53.56718, -2.12217), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.
