Panels on two roof levels + a Fox ESS battery bank — Romford

This Romford home had the classic 'wasted roof' problem: a decent pitched roof, plus a big flat rear extension most installers would ignore. We used both — and paired the lot with serious Fox ESS storage.

Using the whole property, not just the easy face

The flat extension roof carries rows of all-black panels on engineered tilt frames — angled to catch the sun properly and spaced so the front row never shades the row behind, even in low winter light. Add the array on the pitched roof above and the system generates across far more of the day than either roof could alone.

Flat roofs are a speciality of ours (there's a whole guide on them) — done right, they're some of the most productive solar real estate in Essex, because we choose the tilt and direction rather than inheriting whatever the builder picked.

Storage sized like we mean it

Inside, a Fox ESS battery bank and hybrid inverter turn the two arrays into an all-day system: solar runs the house and fills the batteries, the batteries run the evening, and cheap overnight rates cover winter gaps. Every cable is trunked, every isolator labelled — the plant-room photo is what a handover should look like.

A system in this class typically starts from around £7,990 installed with a full-size battery. If you've got a flat roof — on the house, an extension or a garage — send us a photo and we'll tell you straight what it could do.
