Planning estimate

Start with a clear view of your solar potential.

Choose home or business. We will show what the available information can support and be clear about what still needs checking.

Choose your route

What kind of site is this?

The questions and calculation are different for a home and a high-energy-use business.

Building and roof

The building stage suggests a mounting route; you can confirm another option or choose “not sure”.

Building stage

Provisional mounting preference

Roof covering

Main roof direction

Approximate roof pitch

Approximate daytime shading

Usable roof width (metres, if known) Leave blank if you do not know it yet.

Usable roof height (metres, if known) Both dimensions are needed for a panel-count indication.

Energy use

Annual kWh is best. A monthly bill can provide a rough fallback.

Annual electricity usage (kWh)

Or average monthly electricity bill (£)

Day unit rate (p/kWh)

Postcode area

Include the provisional home-battery option

Business energy profile

These inputs reveal whether the site deserves a commercial energy review. They do not create a technical design.

Approx. usable roof area (m², if known) Leave blank and OmniOrigin can help establish it.
