Solar installers in East Midlands.

By the numbers

East Midlands sun, measured.

≈980–1,023 kWh per kWp a year, around the UK average

For every kilowatt of panels, a well-placed roof across East Midlands generates roughly this much a year, with where you land in the range depending on your town, roof direction, pitch and shading. The roof check estimates it for your exact address.

Local context

Roofs across East Midlands.

What East Midlands roofs tend to be like:

• Interwar and post-war semis. The cities are ringed with 1930s to 1960s semis, which are some of the easiest and most predictable roofs to fit.
• Red-brick terraces. The urban cores hold dense Victorian terraces where direction varies street by street, so the roof check earns its keep.
• Open Lincolnshire. The flat, rural landscape around Lincoln means little shading and long, clear exposure to the south.
