Solar for home

Does my roof need to be south-facing?

It is as common myth that solar only works if you have a south facing roof.

Your roof does not need to be south-facing, solar works very well on east-west roof layouts too.

The best way to find out which layout works best for your home; is to have a survey and we can run through a full performance estimate.

Will my panels generate if its not sunny?

We get this question a lot, the simple answer is yes, they will still generate if it is not sunny.
During the winter months your system may be slightly less efficient as the days are shorter than the summer months

Solar Panels do not need direct sunlight to produce electricity, so you can rest assured that your system will be generating all year round and saving you money.

What size solar system should I have?

This is very dependent on the size of your roof space! In most cases it is usually best to maximise your roof space, so your system can generate as much as possible.

A physical site survey is crucial; our surveyor will take specific measurements of your roof to design a solar system that meets your needs.

Why Should I Have Battery Storage?

It is extremely beneficial to have batteries installed alongside solar panels, in order to utilise as much of the solar energy that you are producing.

When the sun has gone in, you can then power your house hold at night from the energy stored in your battery.

Will shading affect my solar system?

Yes it does, but there are things we can do to get around it. We can install micro-inverters and optimisers to minimize the effect of the shading.

Your surveyor will complete shading calculations on your survey, to asses the potential of your solar system being shaded.
