How Totnes compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Totnes. It is one of 23 Devon towns we track, and it ranks 7th of 23 for solar yield, a town of 9,317 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,067 kWh per kWp a year, 2.92 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £949 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £702 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Totnes's own yield, and at Totnes's 1,067 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 Hams; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Totnes 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.
