How Swadlincote compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Swadlincote is one of 28 Derbyshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 7th of 28 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 36,481 residents, and its roofs see 2.66 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,176 kWh of generation, of which around 5,239 kWh is exported at 12p for £629 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Swadlincote's own yield, and at Swadlincote's 971 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 South Derbyshire; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Swadlincote as a medium 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.
