What we actually see
The same roof, three views.
No account, no installer phone call, no satellite guesswork. From your address we open three views of your roof and combine them into one honest answer.
Aerial view
Your actual roof, from above.
Recent overhead imagery of your specific building — not your street, not a stock photo.
Roof shape
Each face, which way it points.
The building footprint reduced to its faces — south-facing slopes carry the most weight. One tap flips it if we got it wrong.
Sunlight
How much sun the roof actually gets.
Modelled hours of usable sunlight across each face, tuned to your region — what feeds your Solarable Score.
We always recommend an installer survey to confirm shading, pitch, and structural suitability before you commit.
What it looks like
Real UK homes, honest numbers.
A south-facing UK roof typically pays back in 8–12 years; east or west adds a year or two. We give you a Solarable Score and an annual benefit range — never a single number on a stranger's house.
