Where is your home?

Enter your postcode, tap Show map, and place the pin on your home. That position is used for your estimate so results match where you live.

Helps us identify the right home at this postcode.

Drag the pin onto your home or tap the map to move it. Blue outlines show building footprints where the map has them. Zoom in if outlines do not appear.

Install Costs

Indicitive installation costs for the roof face selected above.

Estimated install cost
Uses suggested system size.

Roof footprint and direction on the map are estimates. Tilt may default to a typical value when it cannot be detected. Suggested size uses ~165 W/m² and 72% usable roof area. Panel count assumes 1.9×1.0 m, 450 W modules, packed by footprint using the same usable roof %. All values are guides, not a measured survey.

4 kWp
30°

Typical UK pitched roofs are often around 30–40°.

Values below were suggested from the map step — adjust if needed.

14%

Range 10–18%. Add site shading below — not a measured survey.

Effective total loss: 14%

Capped at 30% for the calculator. Very heavy shade may reduce output more than this model shows.

Site shading (self-reported)

How much do trees, chimneys, or nearby buildings block the sky toward your panels?

Tariffs & usage

Adjust these to match your bill or smart meter — figures are illustrative only.

Fine-tune export & usage

Export / SEG price and self-consumption use typical default values. Turn on the option above to edit them.

35%

Without a battery, many homes use roughly 30–50% of what they generate on site.

Your indicative estimate

Estimated annual savings

Based on your import/export prices and self-consumption.
