Show HN: Helios – what plug-in solar could generate for any address in Britain

Plug-in solar panels are now legal in the UK and will soon be available for sale. Helios, a tool using UK government LIDAR data, estimates solar electricity generation and its value at any UK address, with caveats for LIDAR coverage (Scotland/Wales) and data limitations (trees, new developments, geocoding accuracy). Feedback on the shading model is requested.
