What the data says about Suffolk
Modelled yield is not flat across Suffolk. Leiston comes out at 956 kWh per kWp a year against 905 at Newmarket, a spread of 51 kWh per kWp. On a 200 kWp farm array that difference is about 10,200 kWh a year, which is worth checking before accepting a generic saving figure.
Across the districts we cover in Suffolk the planning record lists 8 ground mounted and 12 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 UK Power Networks. 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.
- Ipswich 933 kWh/kWp
- Lowestoft 938 kWh/kWp
- Bury St Edmunds 912 kWh/kWp
- Felixstowe 950 kWh/kWp
- Sudbury 923 kWh/kWp
- Stowmarket 922 kWh/kWp
- Newmarket 905 kWh/kWp
- Leiston 956 kWh/kWp
