Why Hartlepool matters for electrical and renewable
Hartlepool has the highest measured solar irradiance of any town in our service area — around 1,170 peak sun hours per year, materially above the inland regional average. Sitting on Tees Bay it picks up strong eastern and southern sea-view aspects, and the central and western residential areas (Hartfields, Wynyard, Elwick) are virtually free from shading. Typical 4kW installs here generate 3,500-3,700 kWh annually, putting Hartlepool in the top 5% of UK locations by yield.

Economic context
Hartlepool is a major node in the Teesside Freeport zone, with substantial port infrastructure and a growing hydrogen and offshore wind industrial cluster. The town’s nuclear power station (Hartlepool Power Station) is currently scheduled to close, with the site being prepared for redevelopment.
Energy context
Hartlepool sits at the heart of a regional hydrogen strategy — the H2Teesside project would, if delivered, place one of the UK’s largest hydrogen production facilities adjacent to the borough. Hartlepool Borough Council targets net-zero by 2040.

Paying next to nothing for electricity now
“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”
DDavid R.
Sunderland
Smooth install, paperwork done properly
“North 85 surveyed the roof carefully (some installers had quoted me without measuring) and the layout they came back with put 12 panels where I expected 10. Net export to Octopus Outgoing is paying back faster than I had budgeted for.”
AAndrew F.
Newcastle upon Tyne
Great communication start to finish
“From the quote through to the final commissioning, the North 85 team kept me in the loop. Scaffold up Monday, install Tuesday-Wednesday, commissioned Thursday. Even helped me register for the SEG tariff. Highly recommend.”
