The effeciency of home solar panels in Yorkshire is effected by a number of factors. The most significant being Yorkshire's geographical location, local weather patterns, and the attributes of the individual property which will include roof orientaion and pitch.
Solar panel installations in the North of England will, on average, achieve approximately 86.2% of the efficency of those in the very South West of England. Yorkshire's solar panel efficency will exceed these average figures due to the climate characteristics of most of the Yorkshire area, particularly in the center and towards the east of the county, where weather patterns are even more favourable.
It should be noted that solar panels do not need direct sunlight in order to generate electricity, so they work perfectly well even on cloudy days, but direct sunlight does increase the amount of electricity generated. Also note that Yorkshire's solar panel installations cash returns should exceed the figures estimated in our feed in tariff calculator, since that also uses a N.England average.
