How Wilmslow compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Wilmslow is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 30th of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 26,582 residents, and its roofs see 2.47 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,737 kWh of generation, of which around 4,800 kWh is exported at 12p for £576 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Wilmslow's own yield, and at Wilmslow's 902 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.
Cheshire East is the planning authority covering Wilmslow, which the House of Commons Library classes as a medium 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.
