How Witham compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Witham is one of 46 Essex towns we track, and it ranks 14th of 46 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 28,618 residents, and its roofs see 2.95 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,837 kWh of generation, of which around 5,900 kWh is exported at 12p for £708 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 Witham's own yield, and at Witham's 1,075 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.
Witham sits within Braintree, 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.
