What matters technically in Derry~Londonderry

Steep terraced streets in the city side can complicate scaffolding access; we survey access constraints up front so the price does not move later.

Whatever the property, the design process is the same: we model your roof from satellite imagery and location-specific irradiance data before we visit, then survey the structure, shading, consumer unit and earthing arrangement so the quote we give you is fixed.

  2. Step 2

    Free on-site survey

    An engineer checks roof structure and covering, shading through the day, your consumer unit, earthing arrangement and cable routes. This is what makes a fixed price possible.

    A single page with the system, a generation estimate for your specific roof, the price with nothing excluded, and a realistic payback based on your actual consumption.

  4. Step 4

    Scaffolding up, system in, tested and commissioned. Most domestic solar installations take one to two days; batteries and EV chargers, half a day to a day.
