How Lanarkshire compares

Lanarkshire ranks 67th of the 85 counties we track for solar yield, level with the Scotland average of our estimates. Lower light changes the strategy rather than the answer: pair the array with off peak charging at 8p and the model still finds £778 a year on a typical 12 panel system, most of it from cutting 26.32p imports.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Lanarkshire generates around 5,368 kWh a year, worth around £778 in year one on the 12p export scenario.

FAQs

Common questions about solar in Lanarkshire

What could a roof in Lanarkshire generate?

PVGIS puts a roof in Lanarkshire at 844 kWh per kWp a year, 2.31 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons.

What does a typical solar system cost in Lanarkshire?

A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Lanarkshire costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.

Would a system in Lanarkshire need approval from the network operator?

Most home solar and battery systems qualify for the simpler G98 notification, made to the network operator (DNO) after installation rather than before. A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Lanarkshire before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide and our DNO explainer cover it in full.

What would the payback be on a typical system in Lanarkshire?

On the 12p export scenario, that system pays back in around 8.2 years, from about £778 of estimated year one benefit.

Takes about two minutes. We work out your options, then confirm your free remote design call, on video, at a time that suits you. It starts with your roof and your numbers, and the design is built around them rather than around a product someone needs to shift.

Installations can only go ahead for homeowners, as the system is fixed to the property. Do carry on if you own it, or you are about to.
Flats and apartments usually share a roof, which rules most installations out. Send your details anyway and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
