Stoke-on-Trent is classed as a city in the House of Commons Library settlement data, home to 271,861 people. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks 41st of 44 for solar yield. Its 925 kWh per kWp a year works out at 2.53 peak sun hours a day, and running the standard 12 panel model here splits the return into £247 of savings from generation you use yourself and £594 of export income at 12p, with about 4,946 kWh a year going to the grid.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Stoke-on-Trent's own yield, and at Stoke-on-Trent's 925 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.
