Solar additions
Consider the roof as part of the whole home.
01
A good fit for your home?
Start with an assessment of the roof and the way the household uses electricity. A tidy installation plan depends on suitable structure, roof condition, available area and shading.
Combining solar with other building work can be worth exploring, particularly where access or roof repairs are already planned. The specialist must still assess the system on its own merits.
02
What we plan together
Coordinate the building and specialist work
Set out responsibility for roof repairs, access, mounting interfaces, electrical installation, commissioning and handover.
Name the specialist scope
System design, equipment selection, connections and certification need an appropriately qualified specialist.
04
Know the house before the work
Roof condition, shading, orientation, structural suitability and electrical arrangements need assessment. Relevant permissions and connection requirements should be confirmed by the appointed professionals.
Check how warranties, maintenance and future roof work interact. A coordinated installation needs a clear record of responsibilities.
03
Room for possibility
Think beyond the panels
Discuss equipment location, cable routes, access for maintenance and how the installation appears on the roof.
Design around real use
Ask the specialist to explain system options against the household’s energy use. Keep assumptions visible when comparing proposals.
05
From idea to everyday life
01 — Assess
Gather electricity-use information and arrange a roof and system suitability review.
02 — Coordinate
Align the specialist proposal with roof work, access and internal routes.
03 — Install and explain
Complete the agreed work, specialist commissioning and handover, including operating and maintenance information.
06
A clearer starting point
System size, equipment, roof access, repairs and electrical work influence the price. Request a proposal that identifies assumptions and excluded work.
Calculator figures are starting allowances. No output represents a system design, a savings prediction or a return-on-investment guarantee.
07
Before our first conversation
Collect recent electricity-use information and note anticipated changes such as working from home.
Bring roof photographs and any repair history you have.
Prepare questions about equipment, maintenance, warranties and what the specialist will provide at handover.
