How West End compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for West End. It is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks 27th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 11,250 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,085 kWh per kWp a year, 2.97 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £963 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £716 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to West End's own yield, and at West End's 1,085 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 Eastleigh; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes West End 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.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in West End generates around 6,901 kWh a year, worth around £962 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for West End's own coordinates (50.92969, -1.33791), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.
