Is my home a good fit for an Octopus solar installation?

To qualify for an Octopus solar installation, you'll need to own your home and have a pitched (non-flat) roof with enough clear space to fit at least two solar panels. For guidance on the space requirements for different panel sizes, check our FAQ.

Currently, we’re unable to install solar systems on flats or homes with a three-phase electricity meter. Our installations are also limited to roofs with clay or concrete tiles at this time.

It’s important that your roof gets sun throughout the day, as a north-facing roof may not produce enough power and could be unsuitable. Additionally, we’ll need to set up scaffolding below the area where the panels will be installed.
