What the data says about Somerset
Modelled yield is not flat across Somerset. Weston-super-Mare comes out at 934 kWh per kWp a year against 894 at Frome, a spread of 40 kWh per kWp. On a 200 kWp farm array that difference is about 8,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before accepting a generic saving figure.
Across the districts we cover in Somerset the planning record lists 10 ground mounted and 16 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.
