Frequently asked questions
How does Newcastle's irradiance compare to the south?
Newcastle gets ~870 kWh/kWp/yr — about 15% less than Bristol or London. A 4 kWp system here generates ~3,300–3,500 kWh/yr. Payback is slightly longer (10–12 years) but the economics still work given UK import-tariff levels.
