Is solar right for you?

Who rooftop solar suits

Solar tends to suit households that use a fair share of their electricity during the day. That might be people working from home, families with pool pumps or air conditioning, or anyone who can run the dishwasher, washing machine and hot water during daylight hours.

It can still make sense if most of your use is in the evening, especially if you plan to add a solar battery. We talk this through honestly before recommending anything.

System design

How your usage shapes the design

Good design starts with your power bills. They show how much electricity you use and roughly when. From there we look at:

  • Roof space: how many panels fit, and where.
  • Orientation: north-facing roofs produce the most overall, while east and west faces spread production across the morning and afternoon.
  • Shading: trees, chimneys and nearby buildings can reduce output, so we plan panel layout around them.
  • System sizing: balancing what you use, what your network allows to be exported and what fits your budget.

Equipment

Panels and inverters, explained simply

Solar panels turn sunlight into DC electricity. Panels differ in efficiency, physical size and manufacturer warranty, which matters when roof space is limited.

The inverter converts that DC power into the AC electricity your home uses, manages the connection to the grid and usually provides the monitoring. Some inverters are designed to work with a battery, which is worth considering if storage is likely in future.

We explain the options in your quote, including what manufacturer warranties apply to each component.

Planning ahead

Battery-ready considerations

If a battery is on your radar, we can design the system so adding one later is straightforward. Whether a future battery is compatible depends on the inverter type, the battery brand and model, your switchboard and the space available for installation.

Want both now? We can install solar and a battery together. Read more on our solar battery installation page.

After installation

Monitoring, handover and support

At handover we walk you through the system, set up monitoring so you can check production on your phone, and give you the documentation you need.

Because we're a local team, you deal with the same people if you have questions later. We also offer system checks and maintenance.

FAQs

Common questions

What size solar system do I need?

It depends on how much electricity you use, when you use it, your roof space and your budget. We look at your power bills and usage pattern, then recommend a size that makes sense for your home rather than simply filling the roof.

Will solar work on my roof?

Most tiled and metal roofs are suitable. Orientation, pitch, shading from trees or neighbouring buildings, and the condition of the roof all affect the design. We check these during the site assessment.

Can I add a battery later?

Often, yes. If you think you may want storage later, tell us early. We can choose an inverter and switchboard layout that makes adding a battery simpler. Compatibility still depends on the battery chosen and the equipment installed at the time.

How much does solar cost?

The installed cost depends on system size, panel and inverter choice, roof type, switchboard condition and any available discounts. We provide a fixed written quote after assessing your property.

Do I need approval to connect solar?

Yes. Grid-connected systems need network approval before installation. We handle the application and the paperwork needed after the system is installed.

Can I see how my system is performing?

Most modern inverters include monitoring through an app or web portal. We set it up at handover and show you how to read it.
