Does your roof direction actually matter when it comes to solar? ☀️
Yes, it can make a difference, but you don’t need a perfect south-facing roof to get great results from solar.
As a general guide:
☀️ South-facing: 100%
☀️ Southeast / southwest: 95%
☀️ East / west: 85%
☀️ North-facing: 50%
South is the benchmark, but every roof is different. The pitch, shading, size and direction of your roof all play a part in how much electricity your system can generate.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of your roof and let you know what your system could realistically generate. If we don’t think solar is worth it for your home, we’ll tell you.
