How Sawbridgeworth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Sawbridgeworth. It is one of 27 Hertfordshire towns we track, and it ranks 2nd of 27 for solar yield, a town of 11,224 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,034 kWh per kWp a year, 2.83 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £924 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £677 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Sawbridgeworth's own yield, and at Sawbridgeworth's 1,034 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.
East Hertfordshire is the planning authority covering Sawbridgeworth, which the House of Commons Library classes as a 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.
