  • Long distance outside shots of suitable roof(s) for solar panels, including the ground needed to place scaffolding or ladders on.
  • Your hot water cylinder,  usually in the airing cupboard, ideally showing the pipes around it.
  • Your cold water tank (usually in the attic), showing the pipes going in and out of it.
  • A wide shot in the loft of underneath where the solar panel might fit so we can see the rafters.
  • A shot of the loft hatch and ladder, if any. If not, a shot of where a new hatch needs to be.
  • Any other photographs you think may be relevant, such as alternative positions for the panel.

Your pre-solar photos can really help. Please use a flash for inside shots. Architects’ plans, sketches or drawings are helpful too. We will phone you and give you a decision on suitability for your solar heating installation. Plus a fixed price written quotation.

Why do we give 10% off solar thermal quotes? At Solartwin we like to incentivise environmental choices. So if you choose an eco-survey or photo-survey, for your solar panel project, and if we don’t need to visit your home as a result, as a bonus, we’ll discount the price of your installed solar water heating system by 10%. This reflects the travel-related environmental impact of one journey to your home – which you can eliminate! To date, our solar panel customers have eliminated over a million miles of travel this way! You know your home better than most people! Compared to conventional solar, Solartwin starts cuttting carbon emissions even before you buy solar.
