Is My Home Suitable

Up to 80 percent of homes in the UK are suitable for solar panels.

When thinking about solar panel installation there are three key points you need to consider.

Which direction does your home face?

Homes which are south facing get the most sunlight. Roof panels should ideally face this direction to receive the greatest amount of sunlight throughout the day.

Homes facing east and west are very efficient, however, south faces properties are most efficient.

What is the angle of your roof?

The pitch or angle of your roof can affect the amount of sunlight it will receive throughout the day. This affects the amount of energy that can be generated. Generally 20 ° - 35° is sufficient.

Is your roof shaded?

The amount of energy your roof panels produce will be affected negatively by the amount of shading on your roof from chimneys, trees and surrounding properties .
