How Worthing compares
Worthing is one of 33 Sussex towns we track, and it ranks 15th of 33 for solar yield. The House of Commons Library settlement data classes it as a large town of 113,497 people. At 1,143 kWh per kWp a year, a typical 12 panel system here pays for itself in around 6.3 years on the 12p scenario: £1,006 of year one benefit against £6,360 of installed hardware, £247 of that benefit from cutting 26.32p imports with your own generation.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Worthing's own yield, and at Worthing's 1,143 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.
