Is Your Roof Suitable for Solar?

• Location: your roof shouldn't be shaded by trees, chimneys or neighbouring buildings for a significant part of the day, particularly around midday when the sun is strongest.
• Orientation: collectors work on most roof aspects, but perform best facing south, south-east or south-west. East- or west-facing roofs still work, just less efficiently.
• Inclination: a roof pitch of 30–40 degrees is close to optimal for the UK's latitude, though flatter or steeper roofs can still be fitted with an adjusted mounting frame.

None of these need to be perfect. Plenty of systems perform well on roofs that don't tick every box. We'll survey your roof and tell you honestly what output to expect before you commit to anything.
