This 100 year old house had an original slate roof and loft rooms. While fitting solar, there was an opportunity to re-roof and properly insulate the building. We think this East/West facing array looks great with the panels built into the slate roof. The panels generate excess solar in the day, allowing the customer to sell back to the grid at 15p per kWh. The smart, Zappi EV charge point charges the customer’s EV at less than 8p per kWh (mostly at night). A huge thank you to Julia, for asking us to do the installation!

This project was personal – we installed an in-roof solar system and re-roofed a slate roof at my mother-in-law’s house, which also happens to be my wife’s childhood home in Sheffield, Heeley. Let’s just say, getting this wrong wasn’t an option unless I fancied leaving Sheffield for good!

Thankfully, we used tried-and-tested solar technology that’s built to last. Thanks to our Intern Oliver who properly grafted with us during his two weeks over the Easter break. Thanks also to Dean, who’s electrical expertise enabled a beutiful electrical finish. And a special thanks again to Nik from TNT Roofing, a trusted partner we’ve known for years. With his expertise and our confidence in the kit, we knew this in-roof solar installation and slate re-roof would be a success. The result? A sleek, energy-saving system and a durable new roof that keeps the family happy – and me safely in Sheffield!
