What solar actually does in Consett
PVGIS puts Consett at 928 kWh per kWp a year, which is 2.54 peak sun hours a day. A 14 panel (6.3 kWp) system here generates around 5,846 kWh a year, and on a typical system with battery roughly 55% of that is exported, worth about £645 a year at OVO's 20p export rate. Mark's team sizes it to how you actually use energy, on a free 45 minute video call.
Yield and peak sun hours are PVGIS estimates for Consett's own coordinates, not a regional average. Your free design refines them for your actual roof.

Your panels stay untouched. The grid application is the part that catches people out.
Read the guide →What a gateway does, and when whole home backup is worth it
A full battery is no use in a power cut without a gateway. Here is what one does.
Read the guide →Why your tariff moves payback more than your kit does
Same install, three export rates, seven years of difference in payback.
Read the guide →The 20p export rate, and how it compares to standard SEG
4p or 20p for the same exported units. The conditions on each, in plain terms.

Generation figures are PVGIS v5.2 estimates retrieved August 2026 for the coordinates of Consett, assuming a south-facing roof at a 35 degree pitch with no significant shading, the same assumptions as the regional figures on this site. Population is the House of Commons Library settlement classification figure. Your free design accounts for your actual orientation, pitch and shading. Export income assumes roughly 55% of generation is exported on a typical system with battery.
