01

Your roof matters

Orientation, shading, roof condition and usable space all influence what could be suitable. An online estimate is a helpful start; a survey confirms the design.

02

Batteries are optional

A solar system can work with or without battery storage. The right choice depends on how and when your household uses electricity.

03

You stay in control

We explain panels, batteries, backup and monitoring in plain English, so you can choose the system that fits your home.

Questions You May Be Asking

Do solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days?+

They can still generate from daylight, although output is usually lower than in strong direct sunshine. A full-year assessment considers the local conditions rather than a single sunny day.

Do I need a battery?+

Not necessarily. A battery can store electricity for later use, but whether it is right for you depends on your energy use, budget and aims.
