What the data says about Nottinghamshire
Modelled yield is not flat across Nottinghamshire. Newark comes out at 874 kWh per kWp a year against 842 at Worksop, a spread of 32 kWh per kWp. On a 200 kWp farm array that difference is about 6,400 kWh a year, which is worth checking before accepting a generic saving figure.
Across the districts we cover in Nottinghamshire the planning record lists 11 ground mounted and 14 roof mounted solar schemes. Ground mounted schemes tell you how the network here has treated field arrays; roof mounted ones are undercounted, because an array on a farm building rarely passes the reporting threshold. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through National Grid Electricity Distribution. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and on rural feeders the incoming supply is often the real limit: a single phase supply caps the array whatever the roof would carry.
