Yorkshire and the Humber
Solar Panels in East Riding of Yorkshire
We connect homeowners across East Riding of Yorkshire with MCS-certified solar installers. The flat, open Humber estuary and Yorkshire Wolds give this county some of the region's best unobstructed roof exposure, with a largely rural, low-rise building stock.
Solar generation in East Riding of Yorkshire
Using PVGIS irradiance data for Yorkshire and the Humber, a 4 kWp south-facing array in East Riding of Yorkshire produces roughly 3,700 kWh per year. At the April 2026 Ofgem price cap of 24.50p/kWh, that covers £907 of electricity you would otherwise buy from the grid.
On top of bill savings, surplus energy exported to the grid earns Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments — typically 4–6p/kWh with the main suppliers, or up to 15p/kWh with specialist tariffs like Octopus Outgoing.
A typical 4 kWp system with a 5 kWh battery costs £7,000–£11,000 installed across East Riding of Yorkshire. At current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 9–11 years.
Local grid: Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire)
Anywhere in East Riding of Yorkshire, the grid connection for a new system goes via Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire). Smaller systems (up to 3.68 kW) just need a G98 notification, while bigger ones need G99 approval — allow up to 45 working days for that. Either way, it's your MCS-certified installer's job, not an added fee.
