Grid-connected solar power system - Request an installation estimate

If you are interested in installing solar panels on your roof, just fill in the form below with a few details of your property. The details you give us will allow us to suggest a suitable size of system for your property, make an estimate of what such a system might cost, and give some idea of the financial returns you can expect from the system.

If you are interested in taking it further, we can find installation companies who work in your area to give firm quotes for the work.

Helps us work out how much sun you get!

About your house

What type of roof do you have? Eg tiled, slates, felt, standing-seam

Gives us an idea of the work needed to install the fixings

How large is the roof you would like the solar panels to be installed on?

Gives us an idea of the largest array you could fit onto the roof.

What angle it is tilted at? (degrees from horizontal)?

If sloping, what direction does the roof face?

South is best, but other directions will still work, with slightly lower power output

Does the roof get shaded at any point during the day? If so, approximately what percentage of the time do you estimated it is shaded for?

Shading will reduce the output of the array to some extent

Is there access immediately below the roof for a scaffolding tower?

A space approx 3m square where we can install a tower makes accessing the roof easier

Existing mains system

Approximately when was the house last rewired?

Older systems may need a little more work to bring up to standard

Do you have a spare fuseway in your distribution unit?

No need to worry if you are not sure - it is only a small additional cost to add another.

Any more info?

Jot down anything else here you think we might need to know.
