How much will solar panels produce in Norwich?
A 4 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Norwich produces about 4,239 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 3,532 kWh, in a good one 4,946 kWh — 1,060 kWh per kWp.
That’s about 157% of a typical home’s yearly use (2,700 kWh).

Common questions
How much do solar panels produce in winter in Norwich?
From November to February the system produces about 671 kWh, which is 16% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 127 kWh.
Is an east-west roof worth it in Norwich?
An east-west system typically produces 10–25% less per kWp than one facing south, but spreads production more evenly through the day. The exact difference depends on tilt and shading.
Ground mount or roof in Norwich?
A ground mount can be tilted and aimed freely, which can add some yield, but it costs more and needs space. Compare both for your own plot.
