What a solar system actually generates in Leicester

A typical 4kWp roof array in Leicester, at the optimal angle, is modelled to produce about 3,992 kWh a year — roughly 998 kWh for every kWp installed. That puts Leicester around the middle of the UK range, which runs from about 853 to 1163 kWh per kWp.

The modelled optimal tilt here is around 41°. Most UK pitched roofs sit between 30° and 45°, so a south-facing roof in Leicester 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.

Modelled yield: PVGIS v5.2, European Commission Joint Research Centre — 4kWp crystalline silicon, 14% system losses, optimal angles, at Leicester. Actual output depends on your roof, shading and the equipment installed.

Is my Leicester home suitable for solar?

Most homes are. Roof direction, pitch, shading and available space all affect output — a free local survey will confirm what is possible for your property.

Do solar panels work well this far north?

Yes — solar panels generate from daylight rather than heat, so they work across the whole UK. Output varies by location and roof orientation, which a local installer will factor into your quote.
