How Wednesbury compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Wednesbury. It is one of 44 Staffordshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 44 for solar yield, a town of 20,545 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 962 kWh per kWp a year, 2.63 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £869 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £622 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Wednesbury's own yield, and at Wednesbury's 962 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.
