- There are very few criteria to determine your suitability for Solar PV:
- Is your roof facing East, West or South?
- Do you have more than 3sq meters of roof space
- Is your roof in good repair and free from shading?
- If you answered yes to all these questions then you are suitable!
- Many people also ask the following:
- Can I place the systems on an East or West facing Roof? YES!
- What angle must the systems be placed at? ANY!
- The ideal conditions for Solar PV in the UK are South facing at an angle of between 30 and 45 degrees from the horizontal axis. However, facing an Easterly or Westerly direction, or being at an angle of 65 degrees does not mean the system will not work. It just means the system performance will be reduced slightly. The following table shows performance levels for all types of system installations:
