FAQ

Common Questions

All answers verified March 2026

As of March 2026, approximately 1,750 sunshine hours per year at Prestwick — the highest in mainland Scotland. Ayrshire receives more sunshine than Glasgow, Edinburgh, or the Highlands. A 4kW system here generates ~3,600 kWh/yr based on PVGIS satellite data at 55.46°N. Solar panels generate from daylight, not just direct sunshine — so Ayrshire's overcast days still contribute.
