Is My Roof Suitable And What If Is Is Not?
A sloping roof will be suitable as long as: It faces south, south east, south west, east or west (or anything in between these). A south facing roof is best and gives the highest output. If your roof is North East, North West or North facing it will still generate power, but not enough to justify the installation from a financial point of view. Although there are new panels being developed that will be specifically designed for NE and NW facing roofs and these will be available very soon. A flat roof will be suitable as long as there is little or no shading. We can find a suitable means of attaching the panels to the roof (either by fixing to the underlying joists or by using free standing ballasted mounting frames). If the roof is not suitable we can use garages or garden buildings or advise in ground mount systems. We can even build gazebos or pagodas in your garden and install on these so that they are hidden from view.
