Do ovo installers work with roofers at all? our timbers are starting to rot and the entire roof structure needs to be replaced, doing solar and roof together makes a lot of sense to me.

It would be nice to take advantage of the high export costs by going with ovo but our roof cannot handle the added weight, ideally we want integrated panels as its all got to be done anyway and can’t really find out much information, I’m assuming this is standard installs only offered?

Hi @stead,

 

I asked our installation team, and they said that they don’t currently offer integrated panels. You’re right that it would be a standard installation. They’ve asked if you can let us know what roof tiles you are looking at. They can let you know which ones are solar-compatible. 

 

If you have any other questions, let us know and keep us updated on your solar journey! You will have much to consider when doing such a massive project. Have you thought about changing the pitch of your roof to maximise the coverage of any panels that will be installed? 😊
