Our Work

Before

A bare pitched roof on the kind of property that makes up much of Glasgow's housing — sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war semis, and a large stock of ex-local-authority housing. Before anything is designed, the installer is looking at covering and condition, rafter spacing, the state of the flashings, how scaffolding will go up, and where the cable run to the consumer unit will go.

During

Scaffolding first, then roof anchors fixed into the rafters and sealed, rails across the anchors, and panels clamped to the rails as the array builds up the slope. The covering is dressed back around each fixing as they go. On Glasgow's natural and Welsh slate on the tenements, concrete tile on the later stock, this is the stage where an installer who works on that covering regularly earns their money.

After

The completed array, scaffolding down, everything made good. What you cannot see in the photograph is the part that matters most afterwards: commissioning, the grid notification to SP Energy Networks, the MCS certificate, the monitoring set up and working, and the handover pack.

What we won't put on this page

A system size, a panel count, an annual generation figure, a price or a named customer. There is no job record behind an illustrative example, so any of those numbers would be invented. The figures worth having are the ones in your own quotation, calculated for your own roof.

Actual generation, savings and export income depend on the system size, roof orientation and shading, your electricity use and tariff, battery usage, weather and future energy prices. Figures are estimates, not guarantees.
