Domestic Rooftop Solar PV enquiries
Home rooftop solar installation enquiries, with roof, electrical and property assessment before quotation.
A home solar PV enquiry starts with the roof, the household electricity pattern and the outcome you want. Final panel layout, electrical design and savings need a site-specific proposal.
Start your solar enquiryYour brief
Useful details to have ready
- Explain whether the proposed array is on a pitched roof, flat roof or outbuilding, and whether the covering needs work first.
- Note roof orientation, shading and usable area if known. Include current electricity use or bills only if you are comfortable sharing them.
- Ask the installer to explain panels, inverter, mounting, monitoring, electrical connection and handover documents.
- The job postcode and when you would like the work done
You can start without every answer. Only take photos where it is safe to do so; do not climb onto a roof for an enquiry.
One brief, a clear next step
- Tell us about the job. Your draft is saved in this browser as you go.
- Review before sending. Edit the details and confirm the enquiry. Your completion link keeps later answers with the same case.
- Find a suitable supplier. Beffer checks service fit and coverage. Availability, a quote and any site visit must be confirmed by the supplier.
What a survey should resolve
- Is the existing roof sound and strong enough for the mounting system over its expected life?
- What planning, building, owner or leaseholder permissions and DNO steps apply?
- How were generation, self-use and any savings estimates calculated for this household?
Cost factors and exclusions
- Roof condition, scaffold, panel layout, inverter, wiring route, electrical upgrades and any battery alter scope.
- Ask whether roof repairs, access, grid paperwork, monitoring, commissioning and warranties are included.
Before you enquire
Is a south-facing roof essential?
No. Orientation and shading affect output, but an installer can assess other suitable arrangements. Do not assume an estimated output before a site-specific design.
Who handles the network registration?
A grid-connected home system needs the relevant distribution network process. Energy Saving Trust says the installer will usually register it; confirm responsibility in the proposal.
Does an enquiry commit me to the work?
No. Submitting an enquiry starts the discussion. Check the supplier's scope, price, exclusions and terms before accepting a quote.
