How Locks Heath compares
Among the places we publish figures for, Locks Heath is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 25th of 45 for solar yield. It is a medium town in the House of Commons Library classification, with 35,446 residents, and its roofs see 2.99 peak sun hours a day across the year. That drives the standard 12 panel model to 6,932 kWh of generation, of which around 5,996 kWh is exported at 12p for £719 a year, with £247 saved on electricity you would otherwise buy at 26.32p.
