 Are Solar Panels Right For Me?

When considering solar panel installation for your home, there are several factors to consider to determine if it’s the right fit for you.

Space

The average solar panel system size is around 3.5 kWp, which typically requires around 20m2 of roof space. Make sure you have enough unshaded, South-facing space on your roof for the number of panels you need. East or West-facing roofs can still be considered, but North-facing roofs are not recommended as they will yield less energy.

Shading

Any nearby buildings, trees, or chimneys that cast shadows on your roof can negatively impact the performance of your solar panels. If shading is unavoidable, some solar PV systems have optimizers that can help minimize the impact. However, if you have no shading, optimizers won’t increase the energy output, they will only increase monitoring opportunities.

Orientation

The ideal orientation for solar panels is south-facing, as it will yield the maximum electrical output. East or West-facing roofs will yield around 15-20% less energy than a south-facing roof.

Permissions

In most cases, solar PV panels are considered “permitted developments” and don’t require planning permission. However, it’s best to check with your local planning office for guidance. If you live in a listed building, conservation area, or national park, additional restrictions may apply. You will also need to register your solar PV system with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO), usually, your installer will do this for you.

Compatibility

It’s important to have a professional assessment to determine whether your home’s electrical system is compatible with solar panel installation, as well as the correct sizing for your home’s energy consumption.
