What options are there for solar panel installations on my property?
On-roof
An on-roof solar panel system mounts panels on a raised frame above your existing roof tiles, leaving the roof intact while generating solar electricity. Compatible with most roof types.
In-roof solar systems replace sections of your existing roof tiles with integrated solar panels, creating a sleeker, flush appearance that forms both the roof covering and the power-generating surface in one.
Panels are on a dedicated frame or structure fixed directly into the ground, ideal for properties with limited roof space or where optimal panel angle and orientation can’t be achieved on the roof.
Let’s take, for example, a typical south-facing domestic system with battery storage for a 4-bedroom property. You could expect…

This example comprises:
12 on-roof solar panels to collect sunlight and turn it into DC electricity.
5kW hybrid inverter, to convert the DC electricity into mains (AC) electricity.
11.6kWh battery storagesystem to store excess energy that means you can use your solar generated electricity at night too.
Love Solar include all the isolators, wiring and meters needed to connect the system safely to your electrical system. Your system will be installed and certified by our trained installation team.
Benefits of including battery storage in your system
On sunny days, when your PV array is producing more electricity than you are using in the property, you will be able to store the spare energy and use it at night.
This will maximise your use of the electricity you are generating on your roof rather than exporting it to the grid. As importing electricity is more expensive than the payments you may receive for exporting energy, this can lead to significant financial savings.
