For UK installers

The savings question,
answered on your site.

SolarCheck is a solar savings estimator for a UK installer’s own website. It finds the roof from satellite imagery, measures it, sizes an array to fit, then values the output using the MCS self-consumption method — so the figure on your site matches the figure on your survey paperwork.

Try it

Check a real roof.

The working checker. Put in any UK postcode, pick the house, and it reads that roof from Google’s survey — the same thing it would do on your site.

Live roof data and 2026 energy prices. Figures are indicative and confirmed at survey.

Watch it read a roof.

A homeowner lands on your website and types a postcode. SolarCheck goes and looks at their actual roof, sizes an array on it, and hands you the enquiry. This is that, start to finish.

  1. It starts from above

    Google’s survey imagery of that address — the actual roof, not a stock photograph of a roof.

  2. A postcode goes in

    One field, then they pick their house from the list. That is the whole ask.

  3. The roof gets measured

    Usable area, pitch and orientation read off the imagery, and an array sized to what it takes.

  4. Then the enquiry lands

    A name, an email and the figure they were actually shown — in your inbox, while they are still interested.

Plays without sound; the captions are on screen. Figures shown are indicative and confirmed at survey.

What the visitor sees

Thirty seconds, start to finish.

01They type a postcode

That is the whole ask. No account, no sales form first.

02They see their own roof

Google’s survey imagery of their address, cropped to their building — with size and orientation measured from it rather than guessed from the property type.

03It sizes a real array

Sized to a realistic domestic system on the space that roof actually has — not to whatever would physically fit on it.

04They get a yearly figure

Split into what it takes off the bill and what the export tariff pays — because those are worth very different amounts.

Under the bonnet

Most solar calculators flatter. This one does the maths.

The number a homeowner sees on your website is the number they will hold you to at the survey. Six things make sure it survives that conversation.

01

It splits the saving in two, because the halves are not equal

A unit you use in the house saves you the import price — currently 26.32p. A unit you export earns the SEG rate, around 12p. That is a 2.2× spread, and a calculator that blends them into one rate is guessing which side of it your customer falls on.

02

Self-consumption comes from the MCS tables, not from an assumption

It uses MGD 003 — the lookup tables an MCS-certified installer has to use to produce a performance estimate. So the website figure and the survey figure agree, instead of the site promising more than the quote delivers.

03

It assumes nothing about energy prices going up

Nearly every solar quote inflates its lifetime figure with ~5% annual energy inflation, which roughly doubles the headline on an assumption nobody can check. This one assumes zero, and still shows a lifetime number.

04

Panel degradation is in the maths

Half a percent a year across twenty-five years. The lifetime figure is always below year one multiplied by twenty-five, which is the tell that a calculator is doing the work.

05

No system cost means no payback figure

It will not quote a payback derived from a price it invented. Give it a real cost and it gives a real payback; otherwise it stays quiet.

06

The battery is priced separately, and honestly

Storage is the most overstated upsell in this industry. The uplift is shown as its own number — from the same MCS tables, one column across — never folded into the headline.

FAQ

SolarCheck, answered

Where does the roof data come from?
Live satellite imagery and building outlines, resolved from the address the homeowner enters. Roof area and orientation are measured from that rather than estimated from the property type, and where the geometry is genuinely ambiguous it says so instead of inventing a layout.
How do you work out the saving?
Generation is modelled for that roof, then split: the share used in the home is valued at the electricity import rate (26.32p, Ofgem cap) and the rest at the Smart Export Guarantee rate (around 12p). The split itself comes from the MCS MGD 003 self-consumption tables rather than from a rule of thumb.
Why is the figure lower than other calculators?
Because most of them value every generated unit at the import price, or assume energy prices rise 5% a year, or both. Those two assumptions roughly double a lifetime figure. A number your customer cannot reproduce at the survey costs you the job at the worst possible moment.
Does it handle batteries?
Yes, as a separate figure. It shows self-consumption with and without storage — from the same MCS tables — so the homeowner can see what a battery is actually worth to them rather than being sold one on a blended average.
Is it accurate enough to quote from?
It is an estimate and says so. MGD 003 is explicit that it gives an average across similar properties, not a prediction for one house. What it is accurate enough for is a conversation that does not fall apart when you visit.
