How Thurmaston compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Thurmaston. It is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 19th of 26 for solar yield, a town of 9,749 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 985 kWh per kWp a year, 2.70 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £886 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £639 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Thurmaston's own yield, and at Thurmaston's 985 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.
Any planning application in Thurmaston sits with Charnwood, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is 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.
