Where Is It Best to Place the Solar Panels on the Roof?
An unshaded, south-facing roof will provide maximum performance for your roof solar panels. Our solar experts will determine the optimal placement for your panels. Some factors they will take into account include roof angle, orientation, and potential shading from nearby trees or buildings.
Can Solar Panels Be Installed on Any Type of Roof?
Our experts are trained on solar panel installations for various roof materials and structures. We can install solar panels on almost every type of roof, including asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and flat roofs. Older roofs or roofs in poor condition may require reinforcement before installation.
Can Solar Panels Be Removed if I Need to Replace My Roof?
If you need to replace or repair your roof, we can remove your solar panels and store them until your roof work is completed, then reinstall them at your convenience. Talk to one of our solar experts and we can work with you on scheduling.
Do You Need Planning Permission for Roof Solar Panels in the UK?
Most UK homeowners do not need planning permission to install solar panels on their roof. There are exceptions for listed buildings, conservation areas, and certain building restrictions. Soly’s experts will guide you through any planning requirements and handle the paperwork for you.
Do Rooftop Solar Panels Work in Winter?
Roof solar panels generally produce less energy in winter, due to shorter daylight hours and potential snow coverage. But even on cloudy days regular sunlight will allow your panels to generate electricity throughout the winter months.
Can I Have Too Many Solar Panels on a Roof?
Installing too many solar panels can consume a significant portion of your roof. The biggest installation is not necessarily the most cost-effective one. Soly's solar experts ensure you get the best return on your investment without overloading your roof with solar panels.
What if I Don't Have Enough Space on My Roof for Solar Panels?
If you don't have the space for solar panels on roof installation, consider alternative solutions such as ground-mounted solar panels and community solar programs. Our solar experts will discuss alternative solar panel placements that might work for your home.
What Maintenance Is Needed for Rooftop Solar Panels?
While our roof solar panels require minimal maintenance and no cleaning, others should be cleaned at least twice a year. Our ongoing support and maintenance services will help you keep your system in top condition for many years to come.
