How it works

Tell us about your roof.
We tell you the truth.

Real engineering models, real solar data, real tariffs. No installer optimism, no salesperson tricks. The number you get is the number you'll get.

01

Describe your house

Postcode, roof orientation, shading, electricity usage. We pull real solar irradiance from NASA for your exact location.

02

Get a real quote

System size, battery sizing, expected generation, self-consumption rate, payback period, lifetime savings. Year-by-year forecast included.

03

Compare installer quotes

Pro generates a PDF you can take to installers. The numbers are yours; the installers have to match them.

Why it works

Designed by an engineer.
Built by a homeowner.

Real NASA solar data

Solar irradiance pulled from satellite-derived datasets for your exact coordinates. Not a national average.

Battery sizing recommendations

Should you add storage? How many kWh? We answer based on usage profile, tariff, and electricity price trajectory.

25-year financial forecast

Year-by-year energy generation, savings, payback, and lifetime ROI. With degradation accounted for.

Region-aware tariffs

Smart Export Guarantee, Octopus Agile, Economy 7 — UK tariffs modelled accurately. Plus EU FiT schemes.

Honest payback periods

No vendor spin. Real numbers, properly conservative assumptions, transparent inputs you can edit.

Installer-ready PDF

Pro generates a quote-comparable PDF: kWp, panels, inverter, battery, expected output. Take it to three installers.

Why this exists

Most solar quotes are designed
to make a sale.

Installer estimates are notorious for overpromising — perfect roof angle, top-tier panels, generous self-consumption assumptions, and a payback period that conveniently lands at exactly 'manageable'. SolarWise has no axe to grind.

Built by a homeowner who burned through three vendor quotes before realising none of them used the same assumptions. SolarWise standardises the maths and makes it boring (which is what you want when spending £8,000).

NASA

Solar irradiance data, location-specific. Better than any installer's spreadsheet.

£0

Affiliate kickbacks, vendor sponsorships, hidden fees. We don't sell your enquiries.

Yours

Inputs. Edit any assumption — we show our working. The numbers are reproducible.

FAQ

The basics.

How accurate are the numbers?

Within ±10% on payback periods for typical UK homes — comparable to MCS-certified surveys. Inputs you give matter; the more accurate they are, the better the answer.

Do you sell my data to installers?

No. SolarWise has no installer affiliations, no lead-generation revenue, and no sponsorships. We make money from Pro upgrades — that's it.

Does it work outside the UK?

Today: UK and major EU markets (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands). The US is in beta. Australia is on the roadmap.

Can it tell me what panels to buy?

Pro recommends typical panel and inverter combinations matched to your system size. We don't push specific brands — you choose.

What about half-shaded roofs?

We model shading impact using your description (or a satellite check on Pro). The result is realistic — not the 'optimal' result installers tend to quote.

Will my quote stay valid?

Tariffs and incentives change. Pro updates your report annually so it stays current. Free reports are accurate at the date they were generated.

Can I share the report with my partner / accountant?

Yes — Pro generates a PDF designed exactly for sharing with whoever's signing off the spend.
