How Rugeley compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Rugeley is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 44 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 26,643 residents, and its roofs see 2.66 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,176 kWh of generation, of which around 5,239 kWh is exported at 12p for £629 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 Rugeley's own yield, and at Rugeley's 971 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 Rugeley sits with Cannock Chase, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.
