Metered, not modelled

A typical 4 kWp system here made roughly 2,580 to 3,120 units of electricity last year.
Not a forecast. 87 solar systems around Middlesbrough were metered through 2024, and the middle half made 645 to 779 kWh for every kWp of panels.
A good roof does better still: the top tenth here reached around 820 kWh per kWp, against a British median of 766.
That places Middlesbrough 44th of 49, near the bottom of the areas we can measure — worth knowing rather than glossing over.
Systems here are smaller than typical, a median of 2.2 kWp against 2.9 nationally.
Only 77% of these systems face south, south-east or south-west, against 86% nationally — so part of what you see here is roof direction, not the sky.
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 Middlesbrough 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.
