Check your roof in a few seconds
Enter your address and we will email you a report on how much of your roof suits solar panels, which way each part of it faces, and how much sun it gets. It uses satellite roof data, so it is a guide, not a quote. The check covers properties in the Wellington region.
Wrong building? Zoom in and tap the right roof.
What we will send you
- A solar rating for the property, in plain words
- Usable roof area for panels, and your total roof area
- Sun hours a day on every roof face, and which way each one faces
- An estimated system size, in panels and kilowatts
It arrives by email within a minute or so. No obligation, and no one will turn up at your door.
Where should we send your roof report?
We have found your roof.
What your report means
Solar rating
An overall read on your roof, based on how much of it sits in good sun and is big enough to hold panels. Excellent and good roofs suit a typical home system.
Usable roof for panels
The area of roof faces that get good sun and are large enough for a row of panels. Shaded, south-facing and very small faces are left out.
Sun hours
The average hours of full-strength sun a roof face gets per day across the year. More sun hours means more power from the same panels. See how much sun Wellington gets for solar for the regional figures behind this.
Which way your roof faces
In New Zealand, north-facing roofs get the most sun. East and west faces still work well, while south faces usually are not worth covering.
Estimated system size
A rough idea of how many panels your usable roof could hold. The right size for you depends on how much power you use, which we work out from your bills.
Why it is an estimate
Satellite imagery can be a few years old and cannot see every tree, flue or new extension. A site visit for your free quote confirms what will actually work, including the wind zone, which decides whether your roof fixings need an engineer’s sign-off.
