Solar for End-Terrace

Are end-terrace houses good for solar?

End-terrace houses and solar: ADVANTAGE vs mid-terrace: you have a side roof face as well as front and rear. This gives more roof options and potentially more panels. TYPICAL SYSTEM: 8-12 panels (3.2-4.8kW). Cost: £5,000-£7,500. Saves: £480-£900/yr. Payback: 7-12 years. ROOF OPTIONS: (1) Rear roof (usually south or near-south on many terraces). (2) Side roof (if suitable orientation). (3) Split across two faces for all-day generation. SCAFFOLDING: may be cheaper than mid-terrace (side access available). Most terraced houses have the front facing north and the rear facing south — the rear roof is your primary solar opportunity. An end-terrace with south-facing side AND rear roofs can fit a larger system than mid-terrace neighbours.
