Why Chelmsford
A good place to put solar on a roof
Essex sits in one of the sunniest bands in the UK, which shows up directly in generation figures.
~1,550 hrs
Average annual sunshine in Chelmsford, above the UK average.
3,700 - 4,000 kWh
Typical yearly output from a 4.4 kW array on a Chelmsford semi.
£600 - £900
Typical annual bill saving with sensible daytime usage.
Chelmsford housing is a mix that suits solar well: post-war semis in Moulsham and Great Baddow with simple south or east-west pitches, and large newbuild roofs at Beaulieu Park and Channels with plenty of unbroken tile. We survey the roof, model shading from trees and chimneys, then size the array from your bills rather than a generic average.
