The Centre for Sustainable Energy has designed Solar Wizard, a free-to-use online tool that helps you determine if installing solar panels on your home or building is suitable.

Just by entering your postcode, Solar Wizard provides you with a quick, unbiased assessment of your roof’s solar potential, including energy generation estimates, installation costs, and payback periods. This free tool aims to empower you to embrace solar PV, contributing to the UK’s transition to a low-carbon future.

Are solar panels right for you and your home?

If you have a north-facing roof, you won’t reap the benefits of solar energy as it won’t get much sun throughout the day. South-facing roofs get the most sun during the day but, if your roof is facing east and west, you can install solar panels on both sides to catch the sun.
Another important factor is if there are buildings or any obstacles blocking your roof from the sun; this will reduce the amount of energy you’ll be able to generate.
The more panels you can fit on your roof, the better! The more panels you have on your roof, the more energy you can generate.
Installation cost is important and Solar Wizard will be able to help you with that. Solar Wizard calculates your payback period, which is the time it takes to earn back your installation cost through savings on your energy bills and exporting energy back to the grid.

Homeowners
