Roof orientation
Unique roof intelligence.
Determine the orientation of your roof faces so you can make a decision on which offers the best potential.
Sunlight
How much sun the roof actually gets.
See, with measured data, which parts of your roof get the most sunlight over the course of the year.
We always recommend an installer survey to confirm shading, pitch, and structural suitability before you commit.
Your roof in 3D
Flat, pitched, or a bit of both?
We build a 3D model of your roof so you can see its shape and makeup for yourself. Most roofs develop character and history over time. Flat parts, different pitch angles, extensions. We try our best to make it easy to understand and improve your confidence when speaking to solar installers in your area.
What it looks like
Real UK homes, honest numbers.
Each roof in the UK is different. Some suit solar panels, some do not. That's just how it is. With your Solarable Score and your roof, you can figure out if your roof is — or is not — suitable for solar panels with confidence. Start your journey today by reading our homeowner's guide.
