Roof readiness
Inspect condition, remaining life, structure, shade, orientation and safe access.
Solar panel installation
Could your roof help cut your electricity bills?
A free survey checks the roof, your electricity use and the installation route before FLO recommends a solar system.
Every property is different. The free survey checks what is possible before you commit to a system.
The answer you need
What should be resolved before a solar installation is ordered?
Roof condition and usable area, shade, annual generation, on-site use, inverter capacity, cable routes, electrical condition, grid process, access and monitoring should all be visible in the proposal.
The property-specific checks
What will FLO check for your property?
We use these details to work out what is practical, what needs more investigation and what the next step should be.
Energy value
Model generation against the building's own demand and realistic export assumptions.
Electrical route
Confirm inverter, protection, cable routes, metering and network requirements.
The next step with FLO
What will your assessment and quote cover?
FLO starts with your property, then explains the recommended work, the price, important exclusions and the next steps in writing.

Good to know
Questions you may have.
Do solar panels work in Scotland?+
Yes. Solar PV generates from daylight. The site forecast should account for location, orientation, shade and system losses rather than rely on a generic national figure.
Does every roof need a structural survey?+
The required level depends on the building, roof and evidence available. Structural capacity and fixing suitability must still be established before installation.
Can I export surplus electricity?+
Eligible systems may access an export tariff, subject to metering, certification and supplier terms. Network permission and export limits are separate checks.
What might change the recommendation?+
A roof image and annual bill cannot prove structural suitability, final generation or savings. Forecasts should expose the assumptions and separate self-use from export.
