What could you actually save?
A range-based savings estimator — honest about how wide the range really is.
The calculator below gives a range, not a single number, on purpose. Solar economics depend on so many variables — weather, tariff, household behaviour, export rate — that any single-figure estimate is misleading. We err toward honesty even if it makes the answer less satisfying.
Before the numbers, here's the first big variable: where you live. UK yield varies by roughly 40% between the sunniest South West and the least-sunny far North of Scotland.
- Scotland (North) & Northern Ireland · 750 kWh/kWp/yrAB · IV · KW · HS · ZE
- Scotland (South) · 850 kWh/kWp/yrEH · G · ML · KA · TD · DG · PA · FK · KY · DD · PH
- North England & Wales · 900 kWh/kWp/yrYO · LS · M · L · NE · TS · CA · LA · CH · WA · CF · NP · SA
- Midlands & East · 950 kWh/kWp/yrB · NG · LE · NN · CB · NR · CO · PE · LN · CV
- South East & London · 1000 kWh/kWp/yrSW · SE · E · N · NW · W · CR · GU · RG · BN · BR · DA · ME · CT
- South West & South Coast · 1050 kWh/kWp/yrEX · TR · PL · BH · DT · BS · SO · PO · GL
Start with the six required inputs. If you want a tighter range, expand the optional detail section — it asks four more questions that meaningfully sharpen the estimate.
