Solar Panel Installation in Upper Hutt

Open sites in Trentham, Wallaceville and Totara Park can suit solar well, but shading from hills and trees varies street by street. We check your roof's sun and condition before quoting.

Solar Panel Installation on Upper Hutt roofs

Open, north-facing roofs in suburbs like Trentham, Wallaceville and Totara Park can suit solar well. Shading from hills and trees varies a lot street to street, so we check each roof rather than assume.

Solar panels stay on a roof for a long time. That makes the roof under them part of the solar decision. Fit an array onto iron with a few years left and you will pay to lift it off for the re-roof.

The result is a different set of roof problems from the coast: moss and lichen on shaded slopes, leaves filling spouting and valleys, and damp that sits on a roof longer after rain.

BRANZ describes solar panels fixed through the roof cladding to the rafters or purlins as the standard approach, and a re-roof as a good time to add them. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• Roof condition and expected remaining life
• Orientation, pitch and shading
• Framing and fixing points for the mounting rails

Every job follows the same steps: we look at the roof, photograph what we find, send a written quote, then send photos of the finished work. More about solar Panel Installation.
