BackNext Macclesfield sits on the Cheshire plains at the foot of the Peak District, and it's a town that consistently punches above its population for solar investment. The town's high average household income, strong owner-occupier rate, and housing stock skewed towards larger semis and detacheds mean that solar systems here tend to be well-specified and deliver above-average annual savings. Its southerly Cheshire position also gives it better irradiance than the Greater Manchester towns to the north. ## How much solar energy does Macclesfield get? Macclesfield sees approximately **1,360–1,390 sun hours per year** — above the North West average. Being at the eastern edge of the Cheshire plain with the Peak District to the east, it benefits from the low-horizon irradiance of the open countryside.
