How Stapleford compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Stapleford. It is one of 29 Nottinghamshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 16th of 29 for solar yield, a town of 15,481 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 980 kWh per kWp a year, 2.68 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £883 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £636 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Stapleford's own yield, and at Stapleford's 980 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.

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.
