  • Solar PV module ratings
    I have recently Just come across PV module that’s marketed as 235Wp +7% to +12% To me that’s a 251Wp module with 0-5% variation in output At first I was thinking – perhaps this is just marketing hype – but on reflection I am not so sure it isn’t more significant … The module rating …

Solar PV system for my house - solar survey

This survey is designed to make it easy for you to obtain a free and accurate quote for a solar PV system for your home. We can of course come and look at your roof, but this survey is often a good place to start.

The survey is simple to complete (there are only 12 questions ) and don’t worry if you can’t answer all the questions … fill the form in a best you can, submit it, and we will do the rest.

If you would rather fill out the form by hand, you can download it here >> site survey form

Free site visit?

If you prefer, rather than fill out this form, we can send an engineer to look at your roof, work out how many PV panels will fit and explain the various options. To arrange a site visit, please call Ali Brunsdon on 017684 87220

Page 1 - Basic roof details

Tell us the basic facts of your roof.

First, we need some basic information on the roof you are considering for your solar PV system:

What is the current roofing material?

The roofing material affects the type of fixings required to mount the PV array.

What is the condition of the roof?

The condition of the roof may have a bearing on the type of installation we would recommend and may also affect the labour component of any works.

Page 2 - More information about your roof

We need to know some more details about your roof.

These questions provide us with further details about your roof to enable us to consider the factors that may influence installation methods or the placement of the solar panels on the roof.

Do you know what is fitted beneath your tiles / slates?

What is beneath the tiles may have a bearing on the type of installation we would recommend.

Are there any obstructions on the roof - for example soil pipe, flue, chimney, velux or dormer window, solar hot water system etc?

Obstructions will affect the number of solar panels that will fit on to the roof.Obstructions such as dormer windows can significantly reduce the amount of space available for a PV array

Is any of the area of the roof shaded - for example by the building itself, by a chimney, or by other buildings or trees?

Shading has a big effect on the output of any PV arrayShade from chimneys and trees can make a big difference to annual output

Do you have a picture of the roof? (optional)

While not essential, a picture of the roof in question can provide us with a huge amount of information, particularly if shade might be an issue. If you are sending a picture with shading shown, please tell us the date and time of day it was taken. This can be posted to us, or uploaded here

Please provide some dimensions of the roof – see diagram.

If you know your roof dimensions enter them here. Otherwise, leave the fields blank and we will measure when we visit.To accurately assess the number of solar panels that will fit on the roof we need to know what space is available

Can you do a sketch of the roof? (optional)

Like a photo, a sketch of the roof can provide a lot of extra information. A quick sketch like the one shown here is all that is required. Again, you can either post it to us, or upload it here.A simple sketch of the roof can provide a lot of extra information - particularly if the roof has windows, etc.

Optional

If you are familiar with online mapping such as Google Maps, Multimap or Streetmap - please copy and paste a link with your house marked.
