How Solar Works for Your Home

With current energy prices and 0% VAT, most homeowners see payback in 8-12 years, with systems lasting 25+ years.

- Use your own power 24/7 - Store daytime generation for evening use
- Backup power during grid outages (with compatible systems)
- Maximise savings by reducing grid electricity purchases
- Future-proof for electric vehicle charging and heat pumps
Is Your Home Suitable?
- South, south-east, or south-west facing roof
- Roof pitch between 30-45 degrees
- Minimal shading from trees or buildings
- Good roof condition (tiles, slate, or metal)
Even if your roof isn't perfectly south-facing, solar panels can still be highly effective. East and west-facing roofs typically achieve 80-90% of optimal output. Our team will assess your specific situation and recommend the best solution for your home.
