One layout adds panels on the partly shaded side to raise installed kWp.
THE LEICESTER FIELD GUIDE / SOLAR PANELS
Solar panel installers in Leicester
If trees shade one roof face, ask what that panel group would generate by itself. A Leicester solar quote should explain why each group is included.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Treat each panel group separately
On a Leicester roof with different orientations or nearby trees, a single panel count conceals the choice between roof faces. Ask for a plan that marks the shaded areas and the proposed wiring groups.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
See the contribution, not only the total
The quote should show why a weaker group is included and what it adds to annual production. If the design changes during survey, request the revised group outputs before accepting its savings case.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
Is a weak roof group doing useful work?
Another leaves that side clear and uses a simpler inverter arrangement.
THE DECISION
Compare forecast kilowatt-hours from the added group and its extra cost. Larger capacity does not guarantee proportionately higher production.

NEXT STEP IN LEICESTER
Check the consumption pattern.
Separate what the roof could generate from what the household will use or export. Recent bills and daytime routines help assess whether extra panels are worthwhile.
