We show you your actual roof — not a stock photo of someone else's

Here's the standard solar-website experience: a stock photo of a smiling family, a sunny generic rooftop that isn't yours, and a form that funnels your phone number to whoever's paying for leads that week. You learn nothing about your own house.

We thought that was a bit pathetic, so we did the obvious thing. Solarable shows you your roof — the actual one, from above — and shades it by how much sunlight each slope gets across the year.

Your roof, scored — not just a satellite view

Where coverage allows, we pull recent aerial imagery of your building and overlay a solar-potential heatmap. The bright slopes are the ones worth covering; the dim ones aren't. You can toggle between the plain aerial, the heatmap, and a clean outline of each roof face in a tap.

Why this is the whole game

A surveyor's first move is to look at your roof and work out which faces are worth using. We've handed you that view before anyone's knocked on your door. You walk into a quote already knowing which slope they should be talking about — and you'll spot it instantly if they're not.

We deal in honest reads, not theatrics. We'll say a slope "appears to face south-west," not pretend we've measured your roof to the degree from space. The imagery doesn't cover every postcode, and where it's missing we fall back to building outlines and a direction estimate rather than making something up. And the on-roof survey is still the final word on shading, condition, and exact figures — it always will be.

What we won't do is show you a stranger's roof and call it a service.

Go look at yours — it takes about a minute, and there's nothing to sign up for.
