How Shoreham-by-Sea compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Shoreham-by-Sea. It is one of 33 Sussex towns we track, and it ranks 13th of 33 for solar yield, a town of 23,688 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,145 kWh per kWp a year, 3.14 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £1,008 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £761 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Shoreham-by-Sea's own yield, and at Shoreham-by-Sea's 1,145 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.
Planning applications here go through Adur; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
