How Kirkintilloch compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Kirkintilloch is one of 7 Dunbartonshire towns we track, and it ranks 3rd of 7 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 30,007 residents, and its roofs see 2.34 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 5,438 kWh of generation, of which around 4,501 kWh is exported at 12p for £540 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
