Solar panel design

Solar panel design support for UK installers

Solar PV design support built from survey evidence: roof layout, shading, inverter position, cable routes, battery context, DNO-ready notes and electrical detail before the installer fixes the proposal.

Vertex supports installer teams with solar panel design evidence across the UK. The report is built around what the designer and installer need to see: roof constraints, usable area, electrical intake, inverter route, battery position and open assumptions.

Solar panel design and layout

What is solar panel design support?

Solar panel design support turns survey evidence into a clearer design handover. It helps the installer and designer understand panel layout constraints, shading, roof access, inverter position, cable routes, battery context, DNO-ready information and electrical limitations before the proposal hardens.

Vertex focuses on the survey evidence behind the design decision. The point is to give the design team a report they can trust, not a loose set of roof photos that has to be interpreted again later.

What's included

Solar panel design deliverables

The exact deliverables depend on what is booked, but every solar panel design support route should make the roof, electrical and design handover questions easier to answer.

Panel layout design

  • Optimal panel placement on roof
  • Panel orientation and tilt considerations
  • Usable roof area and obstruction notes
  • Layout constraints for the design team
Shading

Shading analysis

  • Time-of-day shading patterns
  • Seasonal shading considerations
  • Impact on panel layout and stringing assumptions
Electrical

Electrical design

  • Inverter location context
  • Cable-route evidence
  • Electrical intake and consumer unit notes
  • DNO-ready context where in scope
Battery

Battery-ready design context

  • Likely battery location notes

EPC

EPC and property evidence

  • EPC position where included in scope
  • Property age, roof and access context
  • Energy evidence that supports the design conversation
