How suitable is your roof?
Available space, orientation, shading and roof condition influence solar design. A clear roof survey is more useful than assuming that every home will achieve the same output. Tell the installer about any roof repairs you expect to carry out.
When do you use electricity?
The value of the electricity you generate depends partly on how much you use at home. Discuss your daytime demand and seasonal usage using recent electricity bills. Ask for the assumptions behind any generation or savings estimate.
What should a proposal explain?
A useful proposal should describe the system size, equipment, installation scope and projected output. Ask what is included, which warranties apply and who to contact for aftercare. Any estimate should distinguish expected performance from guarantees.
Think beyond the headline saving
Tariffs, energy use, shading and weather can all affect the result. Compare proposals on their design and scope, not just the largest advertised saving. RJM can discuss solar installation options for your West London property.
Compare installation scope as well as equipment
When comparing solar proposals, check whether the quotation explains access arrangements, the mounting system, electrical works and any additional work identified during the survey. Clarify the handover information you will receive and how to read the system output. These practical details can matter as much as the panel specification.
Ask clear questions about aftercare
Find out who you should contact if performance seems unusual and what monitoring information will be available. Ask for the equipment and installation warranty terms in writing, including any exclusions. Keep the handover documents with your other property records so they are easy to find later.
Discuss solar panels for your West London home
RJM’s Uxbridge team can discuss your roof, property and electricity use before explaining the next assessment step. If you are also planning insulation or heating changes, mention these at the same time. Read about our solar panel service and send an enquiry with your postcode.
