What the data says about North Yorkshire
Modelled yield is not flat across North Yorkshire. Scarborough comes out at 859 kWh per kWp a year against 799 at Skipton, a spread of 60 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that difference is about 30,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before you accept a generic saving figure.
The larger roofs in North Yorkshire follow the freight routes. Across the towns we cover that means A1(M), A64, A19, A1237, A59 and A61, which is where single-let distribution stock concentrates.
The government's planning database records 151 solar schemes in North Yorkshire totalling 1723 MW, of which 18 are already operational and 16 of the schemes in our covered postcode districts are roof mounted. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through Northern Powergrid. 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.
- York 840 kWh/kWp
- Harrogate 831 kWh/kWp
- Scarborough 859 kWh/kWp
- Ripon 834 kWh/kWp
- Knaresborough 833 kWh/kWp
- Skipton 799 kWh/kWp
- Northallerton 817 kWh/kWp
- Whitby 849 kWh/kWp
