All-black panels around a complicated roof — Southend-on-Sea

Three roof sections, one system

From above you can see what the design is doing: separate groups of all-black panels on three sections of roof, each laid out to clear the chimney, the ridge lines and the shading they cause at different times of day.

Panels in different groups can be affected by shade at different hours, so the electrical design matters as much as the layout — each string is arranged so a shadow on one section doesn't drag down the rest. That's the part you can't see in a photo, and it's where installs like this are won or lost.

Complicated roofs are our normal

A lot of the quotes we're asked to review for Southend homes simply ignore the awkward faces — smaller system, easier day, same sales pitch. If you've been told your roof "only takes eight panels", it's worth a second opinion: the free design we produce shows the layout panel by panel, so you can see exactly what your roof can really do.
