Frequently asked questions
Does Sheffield's terrain affect solar performance?
Yes, on some streets. Hillsborough sits in a valley and some south-facing roofs are partially shaded by rising land or neighbouring properties for parts of the day. A site survey with shade analysis is essential before quoting an exact yield figure.
