What the data says about Devon
Modelled yield is not flat across Devon. Paignton comes out at 961 kWh per kWp a year against 903 at Tiverton, a spread of 58 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that difference is about 29,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before you accept a generic saving figure.
The larger roofs in Devon follow the freight routes. Across the towns we cover that means A38, A386, M5 J29, M5 J30, M5 J31 and A30, which is where single-let distribution stock concentrates.
The government's planning database records 248 solar schemes in Devon totalling 1451 MW, of which 90 are already operational and 11 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.
- Plymouth 960 kWh/kWp
- Exeter 938 kWh/kWp
- Paignton 961 kWh/kWp
- Torquay 937 kWh/kWp
- Exmouth 937 kWh/kWp
- Barnstaple 908 kWh/kWp
- Newton Abbot 943 kWh/kWp
- Tiverton 903 kWh/kWp
