How Woodley compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Woodley is one of 20 Berkshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 11th of 20 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 28,745 residents, and its roofs see 2.80 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,494 kWh of generation, of which around 5,557 kWh is exported at 12p for £667 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 Woodley's own yield, and at Woodley's 1,021 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.
Planning applications here go through Wokingham; nationally, the House of Commons Library classes Woodley 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.

What does a typical solar system cost in Woodley?

G98 vs G99: the 28-day form and the eight-week wait, in plain English
One number on your quote decides between a formality and an eight week wait.
Read the guide →Does a standalone battery actually pay back?
No panels means one job: buy cheap, use later. The tariff decides whether it pays.
Read the guide →What it really costs to charge an EV at home versus in public
Home off-peak charging costs a fraction of the public price. The arithmetic, and the tariff it depends on.

Some change, most do not. The room by room arithmetic that decides which.

The scheme obliges suppliers to pay above zero, and leaves the rate to them.
