» What is my roof direction?

We only need to know the direction of either the front or back of your home - this is sufficient to work out the total amount of energy you could generate in your location.

» How do i calculate my roof area?

Roof area can be calculated by multiplying the roof width by depth. Remember to deduct the area for any obstructions e.g. windows, chimneys Calculate Roof Area for Solar PV

» What is the angle of my roof?

Please estimate the angle of your roof, in degrees from the horizontal.

So, for example, a flat roof is 0 degrees to the horizontal and a vertical roof is 90 degrees to the horizontal.

» What effect does shade have?

Simply put: the more shade you have over your roof the less energy the solar panels are able to generate.

» What is my annual electricity bill?

An approximation of your annual electricity bill in pounds will enable us to more accurately estimate your yearly savings.

» What is my price per unit?

On average, how much you pay per unit (or kWh) for your electricity in pence.

The UK average is about 13 to 14 pence per unit (or kWh).

If you are unsure about this figure then leave this as 13 pence per unit.

» How much electricity can I export?

Please select the percentage of electricity that you would intend to export to the national grid a day.

If you are unsure about this figure then leave at 50%.

Note: The electricity from the solar installation will be used in the home automatically. Electricity will only be exported if your demand is less than the system’s output - it's unlikely that you could achieve 90%.

» Why do you need my details?

We require your name, post code and phone number details in order to ensure that the estimate that we give you is accurate for your location and to allow for modifications to your estimate in the event that more accurate information is required.
