Are you considering solar panels? Good. They save you a great deal on your energy costs and do the environment good. But is your roof suitable? Our adviser Mark explains.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

Most Dutch roofs are suitable for solar panels. A roof is suitable when there is enough room on it, when it faces the right way (anywhere between east and west), when no shade falls on it and when the structure is sound.

An old roof cannot take solar panels

Is your roof more than 25 years old? Then it may contain asbestos, and if it does, no panels may be fitted on it, because holes are drilled into the roof during the installation and that would release the asbestos. So check that your roof is free of it before having panels installed.

How suitable is my roof for solar panels?

Because every house is different, it is wise to have our adviser look at how suitable your roof is. There may be obstacles that leave room for fewer panels, or none. Would you like to work out how many panels you need? Then read the blog "How many solar panels do I need?".

There is also a chance that shade falls on part of the roof, in which case a standard installation would not reach the best yield. That calls for a different arrangement, with optimisers for instance. We can only know such things by coming to look at your house.

I am happy to check whether your roof is suitable, free and without obligation. Get in touch and I will find out within a few minutes.
