I’ve never fitted solar before, what equipment is required?
Solar installation is system of PV Panels, connected to invertors for converting the DC electricity to AC as well as to putting it at the right voltage and frequency for connecting it to the customers existing electric circuit. SIG Roofing can supply all the basic system elements, as well as any required add ons such as batteries or EV Chargers.

Can I install the panels and connect to the grid myself?
Although you can fit the panels, we would recommend becoming a certified MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) installer. Then once the panels have been fitted and are ready to be connected to the grid, you will need a qualified electrician to connect the panels to the grid. Don’t know any local electricians? No problem we can help partner you with a local electrician where needed.

How much energy will be produced from the panels and at what output?
We can supply a range of power output panels, depending on what your project needs. All our panels use the latest technology at the time of purchase. Energy produced from the panels is subject to several factors, 1000m2 will generate between 150,000 and 200,000 kWh depending on the location of the system, its orientation, and inclination. To put it into perspective typical 3-bed house consumes 4,500kWh/year and a small business between 15,000 and 25,000kWh

Does the homeowner need planning permission?
No, most of the time solar panels are exempt from planning permission requirements, however there may be certain times where it will be needed. Our team can help advise during the specification stage.
