What solar actually does in Brightlingsea

PVGIS puts Brightlingsea at 1,109 kWh per kWp a year, so a 14 panel (6.3 kWp) system here generates around 6,987 kWh a year.
Yield and peak sun hours are PVGIS estimates for Brightlingsea's own coordinates, not a regional average. Your free design refines them for your actual roof.
