Metered, not modelled
Solar output in Coventry

A typical 4 kWp system here made roughly 2,860 to 3,310 units of electricity last year.
Not a forecast. 89 solar systems around Coventry were metered through 2024, and the middle half made 714 to 827 kWh for every kWp of panels.
A good roof does better still: the top tenth here reached around 845 kWh per kWp, against a British median of 766.
That places Coventry 23rd of 49, ahead of 26 of the areas we can measure.
Systems here land unusually close together — just 113 kWh per kWp between the lower and upper quarter, against 161 nationally. Results in Coventry are more predictable than most of Britain.
At the other end, the quietest tenth of systems here made about 646 kWh per kWp — usually shade, a poor direction, or both.
What none of it tells you is what your own roof would do. These systems point in every direction and some have been up for fifteen years.
The spread behind that number
Every Coventry system, grouped by what it made, against Britain as a whole. The two shapes overlap heavily, which is the honest headline: your postcode nudges the result, your roof decides it.
