You firstly need to make sure that you have a roof that is suitable for solar panels to go on. There are lots of things that contribute to this. Firstly, the angle or pitch of the roof should ideally be around 30 degrees, as this allows the panels to collect the best amount of sunlight.

The roof also needs to be large enough to support the panels that will power your home efficiently.

The direction of the roof is also something to consider. Mounting solar panels onto a north facing roof is not a great idea as this is going to generate less energy than on a south facing roof, so you also need to bear this in mind when considering whether solar panels are suitable for you.

Make sure that when you are looking into having solar panels that you go to a professional company like this solar panel installation Bristol based company Redbridge and Sons, that specialises in solar panel installation. As well as being able to help you with advice, and any questions that you have they will also be able to offer you advice on aftercare.

Maintaining solar panels is easy to do and really the only thing that is required is to give them a clean every so often to get rid of dirt and debris. An inverter may need to be replaced in around ten years, and every few years it is a good idea to have the installer come and check that all is running smoothly.
