Instructions

Enter your full postcode into the box below and click the Search button. Use the arrows in the top left corner of the map to locate your property, then zoom or out in using the + and - buttons. Once you have found your roof, please read the direction, roof size and shading guides.

Roof Direction

Solar PV panels perform best on roofs that face somewhere between South East and South West via South. Please compare your roof against the examples below to make sure it is suitable.

EnergyLink's Installers can also fit Solar Panels onto East and West facing roofs. However, fitting Solar PV to East/West facing roofs results in a performance drop of up to 15%. Other directions are NOT suitable i.e. North West, North and North East.

If your roof is suitable, select the nearest of the three available options on the application form. If you are still unsure, select Not Sure and one of our Energy Advisors will verify this with you over the telephone.

Roof Size

You must have at least 8 square metres of space to locate the panels. This is roughly the same size as 2 family cars. Looking at your property on the map above and any cars parked nearby, try to imagine them on the roof.

If your roof is big enough, select 8m² Or Above in the Panel Space section. If you are still unsure, select Not Sure and one of our Energy Advisors will verify this with you over the telephone.

Roof Shading

Solar PV Panels must not be shaded or they will be much less efficient. Please check the map above and the property itself to make sure there is
no shading. If you are still unsure, select Not Sure and one of our Energy Advisors will verify this with you over the telephone.

Examples of objects that may cause shading include:

• Other Buildings
• Trees
• Telegraph Poles
• Chimneys
• Dormer Windows
