Power everyday life
Solar electricity can supply appliances while your panels are generating.
Put your roof to work.
With solar electricity.
Solar panels turn daylight into electricity for your home. Explore what could suit your roof, how you use energy and whether a battery belongs in the plan.
Online planner coming soonA brighter idea starts with a conversation.
Email Vireo with your postcode, a little about your property and what you would like solar to do. We can discuss your interest and confirm availability and next steps. Online planning is coming soon.
- Your roof considered first
- Your energy use in view
- Clear next steps
Make electricity where you live.
The starting point is your home and daily routine. A useful solar plan considers both the electricity a roof could generate and when you are likely to use it.
Think beyond daytime
A compatible battery can store some solar electricity to use later.
Plan the home together
Tell us about future changes, from an electric car to a heat pump, so they can be considered from the start.
From an idea to a considered plan.

Tell us about your home
Share your postcode, property type and what you hope to achieve.
- 02
Bring the useful details
Roof photos and a recent electricity bill can help a later discussion. There is no need to send sensitive account details.

Check the property
Any design needs the roof, shading, equipment positions and electrical connection assessed.

Understand the proposal
Before proceeding, the equipment, installation scope, expected generation and price should be clear.
A roof is more than a panel count.
Direction, shading and the roof itself affect the design. Photos can help start a discussion; a final design needs the relevant checks at your property.
- Roof direction, pitch and usable space
- Shading from trees and nearby buildings
- Roof condition and suitability for the installation
- Household electricity use and future plans
- Inverter position, cable routes and safe access
- Electrical connection and any permissions needed
Could a battery belong in the plan?
Generation and use do not always happen at the same time. Explore storage alongside solar, with the battery size, position and controls considered together.
Explore battery storageBefore you begin.
The honest answer matters more than the quickest one.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days?
Yes. Panels can generate electricity from daylight even when it is cloudy, although their output varies with the conditions. A home-specific assessment is needed to estimate generation.
Does my roof have to face south?
South-facing roofs generally offer the strongest generation potential, but direction is only one factor. Roof angle, shading and usable space also matter. Share the details of your roof before ruling it in or out.
Do I need a battery with solar panels?
No. Solar panels can work without a battery. Storage is a separate option to consider if you want to keep some generated electricity for later use.
Can I get a solar quote online?
The online planner is coming soon. Email Vireo to discuss your interest, availability and next steps. A final proposal needs the property and installation requirements reviewed.
