How are the solar panels fixed to the roof?

For a standard roof we use rigid stainless steel brackets that are fixed directly to your roof rafters. The brackets hook out from underneath your existing tiles. For a installation of solar power we do not drill tiles/slates or use mastic/silicone to weather-proof your proof.

Who will fit the solar panels to the roof?

At each stage of the process we use specialist solar panel installers. Our scaffolders erect the scaffolding, all roof work be completed by our trained roofing specialists and our professionally qualified electricians will carry out all electrical work

Solar Power Systems

How big a solar power system do I need?

The size of solar power system you need depends on several factors such as how much electricity or heat you use, how much sunshine is available, where you are, the size of your roof and how much you are willing to invest. After talking through your exact requirements we will be placed to recommend the size of system to best suit your needs

How much roof area do I need for a solar power installation?

Our systems start from around 1kWp power which occupies about 6 square metres on your roof.

Do your prices include scaffolding?

We have our own scaffolders and include scaffolding installation in all of our prices unless there are specific reasons for us not to do so, in which case we will discuss this with you

Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?

Our roof-mounted systems do not need planning permission unless the property is a listed building or in a conservation area.

Installatation of Solar Power

How long will the installation of solar panels take?

Yes, you should speak to building control about your intentions and they will advise you if you need to take further action with them. If further action is required we will discuss it directly with them.
