How calculated

Sum of complete unique source areas

Source areas

7416 / 7416

Counts companies whose REGISTERED OFFICE is this postcode. A registered office is not a place of business: accountants and company-formation agents register thousands of companies at a single address, so a large number here usually means one agent rather than a business district. Sole traders and ordinary partnerships are not on the register at all, so this undercounts businesses as most people use the word. Only companies with an active status on the monthly snapshot are counted; dissolved and liquidating companies are excluded. No address, company name or officer detail is stored or shown.

7416 / 7416

Of the active companies registered at this postcode, how many were incorporated in the twelve months before the snapshot. Company formation is cheap and common, and a new company is not a new business or a new job -- many never trade. Where a formation agent uses this postcode, this number counts the agent's throughput rather than local activity. No company or address detail is stored or shown.

Modelled from satellite observations averaged over 2005-2023 for an unshaded surface at the best angle, at a point in this postcode sector. It is a property of the location and the weather, not of any building: roof pitch, direction, and shading from trees and neighbouring buildings all change what reaches an actual panel, and none of them is known here.

A modelled figure for a 4 kWp roof-mounted array facing the best direction at the best angle with nothing shading it, assuming 14% system losses. It is what this LOCATION could support, not a prediction for any particular house. A north-facing roof yields around 40% of a south-facing one at the same address, and shading from a single tree can cost more than moving hundreds of miles north.

The tilt that would collect the most energy over a year at this latitude. A real installation follows the roof it is fixed to, and a fixed angle a few degrees away from optimum costs very little. Source: PVGIS © European Communities, 2001-2026.
