An angled, ballasted flat-roof solar panel system at a rural Kent property.
Not every home has a pitched roof — and flat roofs are excellent for solar panels. At this rural property, set among open countryside, our team installed all-black panels on a flat-roof mounting system, angled to capture the best of the available sun.
Flat roofs actually give you more control over a solar array than a pitched roof does, because you can choose the exact tilt and orientation of every panel.
We used a weighted (ballasted) mounting frame that holds the solar panels at the optimal angle without penetrating the roof membrane — so there's no compromise to the waterproofing and no holes drilled into the roof.
The frames are spaced and weighted to stay put in the wind, and the panels angled to make the most of the sun's path across this open, unshaded site.
For this homeowner, a roof that many installers overlook has become a productive, bill-cutting asset. Flat-roof solar panels deliver the same savings, Smart Export Guarantee income and independence as a pitched-roof system, with the bonus of a precisely optimised tilt.
It's proof that whatever the roof — pitched, flat or awkward — there's usually a solar panel solution that fits. Flat roofs, outbuildings and unusual layouts are all part of the day job for us.
How we approach every solar panel installation, start to finish.
We assess the roof, structure and orientation, then design a solar panel system around your property and how you use energy.
Scaffolding goes up safely and the roof is prepared, with the mounting set out ready for a clean, well-aligned array.
Our qualified, fully insured team fits the panels, inverter and electrics to the highest MCS standards.
We test and commission the system, register you for the Smart Export Guarantee and stay on hand for local support.
Years of hands-on experience and technical know-how, on every installation we carry out.
We're a family-run, MCS-certified installer based in Faversham. We've built our reputation on installing solar panels properly — from the first survey through to switch-on and long-term aftercare — and much of our work comes from recommendations across the county.

Yes — flat roofs are excellent for solar. We use an angled mounting frame so the panels sit at the optimal tilt, often giving more control than a pitched roof.
No. We use a weighted (ballasted) frame that holds the panels down without drilling into the roof, so the waterproofing stays fully intact.
We tilt them to make the most of the sun's path across your site. One advantage of a flat roof is that we can choose the exact angle and orientation.
Yes. The frames are spaced and weighted (ballasted) to stay secure, and every system is designed with wind loading in mind.
Most homes are completed in one to three days on site, depending on the size of the system and roof access. We give you a clear timeline at survey stage so you know exactly what to expect.
Very little. Rain keeps the glass largely clean and there are no moving parts to wear out. We can arrange an occasional clean or system check if you'd like to keep output at its best.
Yes. We fit GivEnergy, Fox and Tesla battery storage and smart EV chargers, either at the same time or later, so you can store daytime solar power for the evening and charge your car on your own clean energy.
We do. We're based in Faversham and cover the whole county, from Canterbury, Ashford and Maidstone to Folkestone, the Medway towns and the West Kent commuter belt.
