Roof & Property Suitability

What Affects Solar Suitability?

Every home is different. These are the key factors reviewed as part of any domestic solar enquiry and survey.

Roof Type

Pitched, flat, slate, tile, metal, or alternative roof types each have different installation requirements.

Roof Condition

Structural suitability and condition are assessed before confirming any installation scope.

Orientation

South, south-west, and south-east orientations typically offer better solar potential.

Shading

Trees, chimneys, neighbouring properties, and other obstructions are reviewed.

Available Space

Panel count and system size depend on usable roof area and layout.

Electrical Setup

Consumer unit, earthing, meter type, and existing wiring are reviewed.

Energy Use

Household electricity consumption patterns inform system sizing and battery interest.

Budget Guidance

Budget expectations help shape equipment, system size, and installation approach.

Battery Interest

Battery storage suitability depends on usage patterns and system compatibility.

Permissions

Planning, permitted development rules, listed building constraints, and lease terms are considered.

Property Access

Scaffolding requirements, roof access routes, and installation constraints are reviewed.

Grid Connection

Distribution network operator rules and connection requirements apply to all domestic solar installations.

Home Energy Planning

Solar Shaped Around Your Household

Understanding how and when you use energy helps inform system sizing, battery interest, and long-term planning.

  • Daytime use: High daytime consumption can improve solar self-consumption.
  • Evening use: Battery storage can help households use more of their own solar energy after dark.
  • EV plans: Electric vehicle charging can significantly increase energy demand and battery sizing considerations.
  • Tariff considerations: Export tariffs, time-of-use rates, and smart tariff options may affect system value โ€” independent tariff review is advised.
  • Future needs: Property extensions, additional appliances, and lifestyle changes can influence system size.
  • Energy behaviour: Household routines, occupancy patterns, and peak usage times are all relevant factors.

Homeowner Education

Understanding Solar for Your Home

Before committing to solar, understanding the basics helps you ask better questions and plan more confidently.

Solar Basics

Solar PV panels convert sunlight into DC electricity. An inverter converts this into AC electricity for household use. Any surplus can potentially be exported to the grid.

Battery Basics

A home battery stores surplus solar electricity for use later โ€” typically evenings and overnight. Battery performance depends on capacity, chemistry, usage, and system design.

Roof Suitability

South-facing roofs generally offer the most generation potential, but south-east and south-west orientations can also be suitable. Shading, condition, and structure all matter.

Inverter Basics

The inverter is a core solar system component. String inverters, microinverters, and optimisers each suit different roof configurations and shading scenarios.

Grid Connection

All domestic solar installations require connection to the distribution network. DNO (Distribution Network Operator) rules, connection agreements, and G98/G99 regulations apply.

Questions to Ask

What is my roof orientation? Is there shading? What's my average electricity bill? Am I interested in battery storage? Do I have an EV or plan to? What are my planning constraints?
