One proposal draws panels across the full roof of a converted house.
THE LONDON FIELD GUIDE / SOLAR PANELS
Solar panel installers in London
Who controls the roof above your London home? For a leasehold or shared building, establish access and consent before valuing a full-roof solar forecast.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Identify who owns the roof
A London roof may serve several homes even when one household sees it from a top-floor flat. Find the title or management information, roof access route and any planned communal work before asking for a final panel layout.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
Treat consent as a named task
Do not read a technical drawing as permission to install. The proposal should say who obtains each approval, who pays for access and scaffolding, and whether any estimated generation depends on roof space you can actually use.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
Is a roof share a usable roof right?
Another limits the design to the area covered by the lease and identifies who approves access.
THE DECISION
Check title and management documents before valuing generation. Ask for an output estimate on the roof area that can actually be licensed for installation.

Use the power the roof could make.
If consent looks possible, add your electricity use and any future EV plan. The right panel arrangement depends on both roof rights and the benefit you expect from generation.
