Not every home has a pitched roof — and in areas like Camden, Finchley, and parts of Barnet, many properties have flat roofs. So the big question is: “Can you install solar panels on a flat roof?”
The answer is yes — with the right design and mounting system.
⚡ How Flat Roof Solar Works
Flat roof solar panels are installed on a special angled mounting frame, which:
- Tilts panels to the best angle for maximum sunlight
- Prevents shading from nearby buildings
- Allows rainwater to run off, keeping panels clean
Ballast (weights) or fixings secure the frames, ensuring they can withstand North London’s weather.
📊 Performance on Flat Roofs
- Panels tilted at the correct angle (30–35°) can perform just as well as pitched roof systems
- You also get more flexibility in panel layout compared to tight pitched roof spaces
🔋 Add Battery Storage for Best Results
Pairing flat roof solar with a battery allows you to:
- Store excess energy for evening use
- Cut reliance on the grid by up to 85%
- Maximise savings and SEG export income
