Metered, not modelled
Solar output in Falkirk
579–752 kWh per kWp a year
the middle half of 591 real Falkirk systems, measured over 2024
- Systems measured 591

- Typical system size 3.1 kWp
A typical 4 kWp system here made roughly 2,320 to 3,010 units of electricity last year.
Falkirk has one of the largest metered samples in Britain. 591 solar systems here were read from their own meters through 2024, and the middle half made 579 to 752 kWh for every kWp of panels.
Even here the best tenth made around 803 kWh per kWp, clearing the British median of 766. The average in Falkirk is low; the ceiling is not.
That places Falkirk 48th of 49, near the bottom of the areas we can measure — worth knowing rather than glossing over.
At the other end, the quietest tenth of systems here made about 484 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 Falkirk 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.
