Before getting started

Practical answers for common decisions

Solar depends on the building and how it is used. These answers explain the broad considerations, while a site specific assessment remains the way to check what applies to an individual property.

Can every roof support solar panels?

No single answer applies to every roof. Orientation, shade, roof condition, construction, access and the electrical setup all influence what can be considered. A site assessment is needed before deciding whether a particular roof is suitable.

Should a battery be included with solar?

Storage is not automatically the right choice for every building. It depends on the solar system, patterns of electricity use, equipment compatibility and what the owner wants the battery to do. Compare the storage page with your actual energy use.

What should I prepare for an initial discussion?

The building type, any available electricity information, known roof details and your main question provide a useful start. For an existing system, equipment details and a description of the issue can help focus the discussion.

Can solar work for a business or organisation?

Commercial and community sites can be assessed, but their operating patterns, electrical arrangements and building responsibilities vary. The relevant service pages describe questions to review for commercial, industrial, agricultural, school, church and warehouse settings.

How should a solar fault be handled?

A fault can have different causes and solar equipment may remain electrically active in daylight. Avoid accessing the roof or opening equipment yourself. Record any warning or change you have noticed and seek an appropriate assessment.

Does a picture confirm that a site is suitable?

No. Images can illustrate an idea, but they do not show all roof, structural, electrical or access conditions. Visual examples in the gallery are inspiration only and are not represented as completed installations.

Are savings or generation figures guaranteed?

No outcome is stated as guaranteed here. Any estimate should use information from the actual building and clearly explain its assumptions. Energy use, weather, equipment and site conditions all affect real world performance.

Which locations are covered?

Solar services cover Lincoln, Lincolnshire, and the nearby places of Nettleham, Washingborough, Bracebridge Heath, Cherry Willingham, North Hykeham, Waddington and Welton. Suitability and availability should be confirmed for the specific property before planning work.
