What solar actually does in Longton
Zac holds the OVO Solar & Battery partnership for North West Coast, and Longton sits inside their PR postcode patch. You deal with a named local expert, the design happens on a free 45 minute video call, and nobody visits your home until you have decided to go ahead. PVGIS puts Longton at 931 kWh per kWp a year, so a 14 panel (6.3 kWp) system here generates around 5,865 kWh a year.
Yield and peak sun hours are PVGIS estimates for Longton's own coordinates, not a regional average. Your free design refines them for your actual roof.
