SOLAR SUITABILITY API · PLANNED

Find out if solar will work at an address before you pay for a survey.

A planned check that gives a plain verdict on whether solar is likely to work at an address or site, the reasons, the constraints in the way and an estimated annual yield, with a source for each item.

Not yet available. Register your interest and we will tell you when early access opens. We will state where it covers before anyone relies on it.

Contour lines drift across a map. A pin drops on a sample address, the lines tighten around it, and a Good fit verdict appears. Reasons follow: the roof faces south with light shading, the building is not listed or in a conservation area, and flood risk is low. A sample yield of about 3,900 kWh a year for a 3.5 kWp system counts up. All figures are samples.

GOOD TO KNOW

Good to know

  • It is not a design tool. There is no panel layout and there are no engineering drawings.
  • It is not a quote and gives no payback or savings figures.
  • It does not replace a site survey.
  • Grid headroom appears only where an operator publishes it.
  • Planning history differs between councils and will be incomplete.
FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions about Solar suitability check

Does it design the system for me?

No. It tells you whether solar is likely to work and what could get in the way. It does not lay out panels or produce drawings.

Does it replace a site survey?

No. It helps you decide whether a survey is worth booking.

Can it tell me if I will get planning permission?

No. It flags known constraints such as a conservation area or listed status. The council decides permission.

Is it available now?

No. It is planned. Early access will start with a small group of named users.
