Solar Panel Installers in New Romney

You might be surprised to find out that the UK’s daylight is more than adequate for a dependable solar power setup. With upwards of 8 hours of daylight in an average day, there’s plenty of sun to soak up.

Having a grid-tied system also enables you to fall back on the National Grid supply if there’s a particularly dark period in winter – so you’re never left out in the cold!

Almost all pitched tile roofs in the UK are suitable for solar installations and, unless the building is Listed, likely won’t need an application for planning permission. The orientation of the roof, however, does make a difference as it dictates how much of the sun shines onto the panels throughout the day. North-facing roofs, for example, will tend to result in lower outputs from solar arrays.

This doesn’t mean that solar power isn’t possible, just that you may need more panels for the same output – and don’t forget that most north-facing roofs have south-facing sides too!
