How much can you earn from solar in your town?

From April 1st the Feed-in-Tariff, that pays you for generating your own electricity from solar panels (whether you use it yourself or not) will drop to 14.38p/kWh, but what does that mean in your area?

Based on the Energy Saving Trusts' calculations you can see how much you should expect to earn and save in your region each year:

• Scotland: £624
• North East: £635
• North West: £650
• Yorkshire: £643
• East Midlands: £655
• West Midlands: £661
• Wales: £667
• East of England: £672
• London: £688
• South East: £718
• South West: £742

Remember, these are estimates for a 4kW system, and the FiT is index-linked and should increase year upon year with inflation.
