Site-Suitability Survey - What To Expect

At Solar Services Solutions, we don’t just come and install renewable energy – first we make sure it is the right solution for you and your home and we have fully understood your day to day needs so we can establish potential solutions in renewable energy options.

Objectives of a site-suitability survey

• Understand the purpose of the project and your aspirations including all your energy usage requirements.
• Discuss any future plans such as a home extensions which will increase the number of rooms and impact your energy consumption.
• Consider the building type, facilities and available roof space and evaluate the effectiveness.
• Work out property dimensions, shading factors, inclination of roof spaces and the orientation of the property.
• Establish any existing renewables energy installations and how they can be improved.
• Understand the site constraints and assess the technical risk and limitations.
• Consider your financial budget and provide information on your return on investment as well as explaining financial options for raising funds if required.

• If you have a high energy consumption you will need adequate solar panels on the roof space or alternative solutions to generate enough electricity but this may not always be viable.
• There may be limitations on roof space to accommodate the number of solar panels required.
• Some roof spaces may be too shaded or not facing the right direction.

• Utilise as much roof space as possible for solar panel installations and provide alternative options such as ground or air source heat pumps to maximise electricity generated.
• Provide a Battery Storage system to act as back up in low day light periods especially in winter and to trade surplus electricity to renewable utility companies.
• Make significant savings on electricity bills.
• Use solar energy on other heating applications in the home such as underfloor heating.
• Solar panels have 25 years guarantee on performance and 80% to 85% performance after 25 years.
• Return on investment is guaranteed and better than most banking returns on investment.
• Be self-sufficient on electricity and contribute to the environment through sustainable eco-living.
