What the data says about South Yorkshire
Modelled yield is not flat across South Yorkshire. Doncaster comes out at 856 kWh per kWp a year against 830 at Sheffield, a spread of 26 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that difference is about 13,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before you accept a generic saving figure.
The larger roofs in South Yorkshire follow the freight routes. Across the towns we cover that means M1 J33, M1 J34, M18 J1, A57, A61 and A630, which is where single-let distribution stock concentrates.
Named industrial estates across the county include iPort Doncaster.
The government's planning database records 93 solar schemes in South Yorkshire totalling 1624 MW, of which 8 are already operational and 7 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.
- Sheffield 830 kWh/kWp
- Doncaster 856 kWh/kWp
- Rotherham 835 kWh/kWp
- Barnsley 839 kWh/kWp
- Wombwell 838 kWh/kWp
- Mexborough 847 kWh/kWp
