What the data says about Derbyshire
Modelled yield is not flat across Derbyshire. Long Eaton comes out at 866 kWh per kWp a year against 805 at Buxton, a spread of 61 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that difference is about 30,500 kWh a year, which is worth checking before you accept a generic saving figure.
The larger roofs in Derbyshire follow the freight routes. Across the towns we cover that means A50, A38, A52, A6, M1 J29 and M1 J30, which is where single-let distribution stock concentrates.
The government's planning database records 144 solar schemes in Derbyshire totalling 904 MW, of which 27 are already operational and 14 of the schemes in our covered postcode districts are roof mounted. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through National Grid Electricity Distribution. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and the export limit they offer shapes the design, so we ask the question before the array is sized rather than after.
