How Whitwick compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Whitwick. It is one of 26 Leicestershire towns we track, and it ranks joint 23rd of 26 for solar yield, a town of 10,629 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 979 kWh per kWp a year, 2.68 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £882 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £635 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Whitwick's own yield, and at Whitwick's 979 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.
Whitwick sits within North West Leicestershire, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.
