Low, average and high compare this count with 400 random postcodes in England and Wales in August 2026: bottom third, middle third, top third. Town centres read high because more people pass through them, so this is not a safety rating. Source: Example figures (demonstration, not real police.uk data).

Estimate for this location with panels facing south at 39°, the best angle here. It does not know the roof's direction, pitch, size or shading, so a real system may produce less. Not a quote or a survey. Source: Example figures (demonstration, not a real PVGIS estimate).
Limitations
- This is a demonstration postcode. All figures are examples, not real records.
- Real postcodes use official sources: planning applications, Environment Agency flood maps and HM Land Registry sales.
