Is my housesuitable for solar panels?

A solar panel system can be installed to most single and double story houses.  All you need is roof space with a generally northerly aspect and full sun throughout the year.  


Some buildings also require a frame to attach the panels at the most appropriate angle to capture sunlight.  Once the system is established it usually requires little or no maintenance other than the occasional check and clearing of panels.
