How much could you save?
The key question we all ask when it comes to Solar Panels. At SIG Roofing, whether you’re a homeowner, an installer or a roofer, we’ve made it simple for you to find out.
Using our unique mapping tool, get a personalised estimate, see the panels on the roof of your choice and importantly, see how long it takes for a solar setup to pay for itself.
What sets this calculator apart is its precision and speed. It leverages the latest solar and satellite technology from Google to automatically scan the building’s roof, calculating the most cost-efficient panel array for optimal solar potential, sometimes showing that fewer panels will allow for the same return due to roof positioning. Fully informed about the building shading, angle, direction, and numerous other data points, it overlays the number of solar panels that can fit in the space and their projected effectiveness.
The user can select more or fewer panels than it suggests on a building to create an ideal setup. From this data, the SIG Roofing calculator can calculate what solar product is required, including any relevant fixings, provide the cost of materials, and estimate the energy the solar panels will generate each year. If the user also provides the current annual energy usage in KWH for the property, the calculator will also work out the payback period.
The SIG Roofing Solar Calculator is ideal for roofing contractors to help them generate immediate on-site quotes for solar materials needed for domestic properties. They can also input their personalised installation costs for the project, which can be added to the calculator to provide their homeowner customer with a further complete cost and payback estimate.
SIG Roofing partners with leading product suppliers in the solar market to offer a wide range of solar roofing equipment that can be deployed on new build or retrofit schemes. They have developed solutions for Pitched, Flat, Industrial, Standing Seam, and Hard Metal Roofs and appointed a team of solar specialists who understand the market and offer training to assist SIG Roofing contractor customers.
The calculator user journey has been specifically designed for roofing contractors taking on solar installations. The powerful Solar API functionality can map any size building if there is Solar data available; however, larger commercial opportunities will continue to be supported by industrial specialists within SIG Roofing’s solar team.
