Leicester-Specific Drivers
Oadby and Stoneygate detached properties in LE2 consistently return the highest savings per install due to larger systems and higher baseline consumption. Wigston and Aylestone semis (LE18, LE8) are the best-value entry point — 4kWp + battery at £9,800–£11,500 returning £960–£1,060 annually. EV-owning households in LE2 and LE12 see the strongest combined savings when solar, battery and EV charger are installed as a package.
