How South Normanton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for South Normanton. It is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks 21st of 28 for solar yield, a town of 11,929 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 955 kWh per kWp a year, 2.62 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £863 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £616 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to South Normanton's own yield, and at South Normanton's 955 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.
South Normanton sits within Bolsover, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.
