How West Moors compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for West Moors. It is one of 15 Dorset towns we track, and it ranks joint 4th of 15 for solar yield, a town of 10,244 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,112 kWh per kWp a year, 3.05 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £983 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £736 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to West Moors's own yield, and at West Moors's 1,112 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.
Dorset is the planning authority covering West Moors, which the House of Commons Library classes 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.
