Flat Roof Solar
Make the most of your flat roof with a professionally designed solar PV system. Using specialist mounting systems, panels are positioned at the correct angle to maximise solar generation while maintaining a clean, secure installation.
Our flat roof solar systems can be designed around your available roof space and energy usage, with battery storage and EV charging available to create a complete home energy solution.
Flat Roof Solar Installation
Flat roofs can be an excellent location for solar panels. Unlike pitched-roof installations, flat roof solar systems use specialist mounting equipment to position the panels at an appropriate angle for solar generation while keeping the system securely installed.
The Solar Company designs each system around your property, available roof space and electricity usage. Whether for a home, extension, garage or commercial property, we can design a solar PV system to make effective use of otherwise unused flat roof space.
How does Solar on a flat roof work?
Solar panels on a flat roof are mounted on a purpose-designed framework rather than simply lying flat against the roof. The panels can be angled and positioned to improve exposure to sunlight, while appropriate spacing helps minimise shading between panels.
The mounting system is selected around the individual roof and installation requirements, with careful consideration given to roof condition, loading, drainage and wind exposure before installation.
​
Your system can also be combined with:
-
Battery storage – store excess solar energy for use later in the day.
-
EV charging – use more of your own generated electricity to charge your vehicle.
-
Smart energy management – monitor generation, consumption and battery performance.​
​
Every system is designed around the property rather than using a one-size-fits-all package. We'll assess your roof, electricity usage and future requirements before recommending the appropriate number of panels, battery capacity and system design.
How it works
Step 1.
Contact our team
Start your solar project by booking your home visit using Calendly or call our team.
Step 2.
Home visit & survey
We’ll arrange to visit your home and complete a free drone inspection. We’ll then offer tailored recommendations for your project, offering as many options as possible.
Step 3.
Confirming your project
Once you’ve confirmed you’d like to proceed, we will offer you some dates and we’ll introduce you to your site manager. They will run through your project, answer any additional questions, organise any samples and finalise any material options with you.
Step 4.
Start date
With the green light from you, the materials will be delivered and a team will arrive on the agreed date. Your site manager will update you a week before your project starts and our team will arrive on time.
Step 5.
Finishing the job
Once complete, the site manager will ensure you’re happy with our work. When the invoice has been paid you’ll get a full receipt and guarantee.
Why choose solar for a flat roof?
Flat roofs can be ideal for solar because the panels aren't restricted to the existing pitch or direction of the roof. Using a specialist mounting system, the panels can be positioned at an appropriate angle and orientation to make effective use of the available sunlight.
This also gives us flexibility when designing the array around roof space, shading, roof features and your property's electricity requirements.
A properly designed system can significantly reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid. Add battery storage, and excess solar energy generated during the day can be stored for use in the evening or when demand is higher.
The Solar Company will design your system around your property and actual energy usage, giving you a complete solar solution built for long-term performance.
