When it comes to solar energy, panels are only a part of the picture. How those panels are mounted on your home or business makes a big difference to the look, performance, and value of your system.
At Sheerwater Solar, we offer both in-roof and on-roof mounting systems. Whether you prioritise a sleek aesthetic, maximum flexibility, or long-term durability, there is a solution to suit your needs.
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the two main options, what sets them apart, and the trusted brands we work with to deliver systems that combine smart design with lasting performance.
In-roof mounting systems integrate solar panels directly into your roof rather than sitting on top. This creates a finish that blends seamlessly with the building.
For many homeowners in Surrey, especially those conscious of design and kerb appeal, this option strikes the perfect balance between function and aesthetics.
Because the panels form part of the roof itself, in-roof systems don’t just look good. They also provide excellent weather protection, keeping your home secure from rain, wind, and snow while generating clean energy at the same time.
It’s a smart investment for anyone looking to enhance their property’s appearance as well as its energy performance.
