Can a roofer still reach vents and repairs after panels are fitted? Make that question part of the layout review for a Manchester roof.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Leave the roof maintainable
On a Manchester roof with vents or nearby trees, ask for a plan that shows safe access around the panels and how shading was assessed. Send details of any leak or roof repair you already know about.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
Tie the output to the layout
Check that the generation model uses the surveyed panel positions and the same inverter arrangement listed in the price. A fuller roof is not automatically a better design if it complicates maintenance or puts panels in persistent shade.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
Will a full roof become a maintenance problem?
Another leaves an access route and removes the group with persistent shade.
THE DECISION
Compare surveyed annual output and future roof access. A larger kWp figure can be a poor bargain if it forces panel removal for ordinary repairs.

Tie output to household demand.
Recent bills and daytime-use habits show whether the proposed generation will be used, exported or stored. Ask for any optional battery to be priced separately.
