Solar photovoltaic (PV) design becomes harder to accommodate once roof layouts, service routes and construction sequences have already been fixed. Bringing solar expertise into the project earlier allows panel positions, electrical connections and installation dates to develop alongside the wider build programme.
SWH Electrical Solutions works with housing developers across the North East and Teesside on new-build solar projects ranging from individual homes to larger estates. Its service combines feasibility work, computer-aided design (CAD), installation planning and on-site coordination so solar forms part of the development strategy from the beginning.
Set the Solar Strategy at Plot Stage
The first decisions concern the plots themselves. Orientation, shading from neighbouring buildings or trees, roof structure and available panel area can all affect the generation potential of each home.
