How does solar generation in England compare with Scotland

England tends to get better summers than us up here in Scotland and I wonder if that is reflected in generation.
Probably something you cannot compare someone will say as so many variables.
I have generated since install 9 months ago 2834kwh.

Hiya BB, if you go to this thread, post #1, section 5, and have a play with PVGIS, you'll see a general difference (top to bottom) of about 20%.

Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.0 -
I am getting 3387 vs 3987 for Glasgow vs Plymouth for the same 4kW south facing system using PV-Sol design software and local historical climatic data.
Quite interesting for me, not run the data that far north before. You should do:
50-60 in dec
60-70 in jan
155-165 in feb
300 or so in apr
I would say from that data you should be very pleased with your system! What panels are they?0
