What a solar system actually generates in Edinburgh
A typical 4kWp roof array in Edinburgh, at the optimal angle, is modelled to produce about 3,683 kWh a year — roughly 921 kWh for every kWp installed. That puts Edinburgh towards the lower end of the UK range, which runs from about 853 to 1163 kWh per kWp.
The modelled optimal tilt here is around 42°. Most UK pitched roofs sit between 30° and 45°, so a south-facing roof in Edinburgh is usually close to ideal without any special mounting. A shallower or east–west roof still works, it simply generates less, which is one of the things worth having each installer quantify in their quote.
