Assumes 2 m² / 430 W per panel. An area illustration only. Roof geometry, shade, setbacks, structure and local requirements change what can be installed. No generation, savings or suitability estimate.
Begin with roof condition, usable space and household energy use.
Can an older roof work with solar?
Roof age and condition belong in the first conversation. A professional assessment should establish whether repairs or replacement need to come before a system design.
What if part of the roof is shaded?
Trees, neighbouring buildings, chimneys and roof features all matter. The timing and extent of shade need a site-specific review.
Does a battery provide whole-home backup?
The equipment, usable capacity, circuit design and actual loads determine what can be supported. Begin with the loads that matter to you.
What does the roof planner calculate?
Only a nominal panel count and capacity from the usable area and panel assumptions. It does not assess fit, output, savings, price or structural suitability.
