Choosing the right inverter
Not every roof suits the same inverter. Simple, unshaded roofs run beautifully on a quality string inverter; shaded, tiled or multi-orientation roofs often perform far better with panel-level optimisers or microinverters. We match the technology to your home.
- String inverters — efficient and cost-effective for straightforward roofs.
- Hybrid inverters — battery-ready, so adding storage later is simple.
- Optimisers & microinverters — panel-level performance and monitoring for shaded or complex roofs.
- Live monitoring — track generation and consumption from your phone.

Frequently asked questions
Which inverter is best for my home?
It depends on your roof. Unshaded roofs suit quality string inverters; shaded or multi-orientation roofs often perform better with optimisers or microinverters. We recommend the right option at your free assessment.
Should I get a hybrid (battery-ready) inverter?
If you may add a battery later, a hybrid inverter makes it far simpler and cheaper to do so. We'll advise whether it's worth it for your plans.
Do inverters come with a warranty?
Yes — leading inverters carry 5–12 year warranties depending on brand and model, with extension options on some. We confirm the exact terms in your proposal.
