What Milton Keynes homeowners actually pay
Milton Keynes is one of the easiest UK cities to fit solar in. ~84% of housing is post-war, slopes are big, conservation constraints are rare and irradiance is strong (~935 kWh/kWp/yr). A 4 kWp install on a typical Bletchley or Wolverton semi lands £5,800–£7,400 and produces around 3,740 kWh per year. Larger detached homes routinely take 6–8 kWp arrays with batteries — the only real ceiling is roof area.
Modern post-war housing dominates — generous south-facing roof slopes for 5–6 kWp installs.
Few conservation areas — front-elevation panels rarely a problem.
