Solar Panel Installation on a Tiled Roof

A clean, well-aligned all-black on-roof array on a traditional plain-tiled Kent home.

A clean, straightforward on-roof installation: a single block of all-black solar panels neatly aligned on a tiled roof, with tidy edges and discreet cabling. Simple, well-executed arrays like this are the everyday backbone of what we do across Kent.

On-roof mounting suits the majority of homes, and with modern all-black panels it still looks smart against a traditional tiled roof.

Installer fitting an all-black solar panel array on a tiled roof in Kent

Squared off and built to last

Our installer set the solar panels out to sit square with the roof and each other — small details that make a big difference to how the finished array looks. The mounting rails are fixed securely into the roof structure, the panels clamped down evenly, and the wiring routed away neatly.

It was a bright day for the fit, and the finished array is exactly what most homeowners are after: effective, unobtrusive and built to last.

The most cost-effective way to go solar

This is solar panels doing their core job brilliantly — generating clean electricity that cuts the household's bills for decades. On-roof systems are the most cost-effective way for most Kent homes to go solar.

With panels warrantied for 25 years or more, the savings keep adding up long after the system has paid for itself. Add the Smart Export Guarantee and the household even earns from the energy it doesn't use.

Our Process

How we approach every solar panel installation, start to finish.

1

Survey & Design

We assess the roof, structure and orientation, then design a solar panel system around your property and how you use energy.

2

Roof Preparation

Scaffolding goes up safely and the roof is prepared, with the mounting set out ready for a clean, well-aligned array.

3

Installation

Our qualified, fully insured team fits the panels, inverter and electrics to the highest MCS standards.

4

Commissioning & Aftercare

We test and commission the system, register you for the Smart Export Guarantee and stay on hand for local support.

Frequently asked questions

Years of hands-on experience and know-how — here to help.

The panels are fixed to discreet rails mounted above your existing tiles. It's the most common and cost-effective way to fit solar, and with all-black panels it still looks smart.

Yes. On-roof mounting fixes panels to rails above your tiles, which is quicker and more cost-effective than integrating them, and it suits the majority of homes.

Most homes suit a 4-6kW system, typically GBP6,000-GBP12,000 before savings depending on size, roof and battery. Residential solar currently carries 0% VAT, and we give an exact price at survey.

Panels are typically warrantied for 25 years or more and keep generating well beyond that, so the savings continue long after the system has paid for itself.

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.
