How Winsford compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Winsford is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks 11th of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 33,883 residents, and its roofs see 2.59 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,017 kWh of generation, of which around 5,080 kWh is exported at 12p for £610 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 Winsford's own yield, and at Winsford's 946 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.
Winsford sits within Cheshire West and Chester, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it 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.
