Are the Solar Panel System Output Figures Realistic in Your Quote?

The Numbers Game: Where It Goes Wrong

Not all solar generation estimates are created equal. Some companies rely on ideal theoretical outputs—clear skies, a perfectly south-facing roof, no shading, and an optimal pitch. But let’s be honest—very few homes in Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, or Derbyshire tick every box.

“We often come across online calculators or sales tools that ignore key factors like nearby trees or the angle of the roof,” explains Lee Rolfe, Managing Director at Wright Renewables. “That’s when people end up disappointed—because the system doesn’t deliver what was promised.”

Here’s where the gaps often show up:

• Shading – Chimneys, trees, even neighbouring houses can cut performance dramatically—especially on older systems without optimisation tech.
• Orientation – South-facing roofs are best, but many UK properties face east-west. You’ll still generate power—but not at the same level.
• Roof Pitch – A tilt between 30° and 40° is optimal. Steeper or flatter roofs affect how much energy you’ll produce.

The Wright Way: Realistic Estimates from Local Experts

As trusted local solar panel installers, we do things differently. Every Wright Renewables project starts with a comprehensive on-site or digital survey. We use live mapping, shading analysis, and consumption forecasts tailored to you.

We don’t ask “what’s the most this roof could produce?”
We ask: “what’s the best outcome for your family and your future energy use?”

Here’s what we include:

✔️ Live shading and satellite data
✔️ Orientation and pitch-adjusted yield forecasts
✔️ Battery pairing to store more of what you generate
✔️ Energy monitoring so you see performance in real time

And because we’re an official OVO Solar & Heating partner, our installations are delivered by fully vetted professionals, never subcontractors. We install systems to last, not just to sell.

Why Trust Matters More Than Ever

When it comes to solar, this isn’t just about numbers, it’s about trust. Wright Renewables is part of the Wright Group of Companies, established in 1986. We’ve built our reputation in Worksop and surrounding areas on quality workmanship, local support, and honest advice.

We’re not just solar installers. We’re long-term partners in your journey to lower bills and greener living.

So when you choose us as your local solar panel installer, you're choosing experience, reliability, and people who genuinely care.

Choosing the Right Solar Partner

When comparing quotes, don’t just chase the biggest generation number. Ask the right questions:

• Have they factored in your roof’s unique characteristics?
• Are the panels from a reliable, UK-supported brand?
• Can they show you similar installs in Lincolnshire or South Yorkshire?
• Will they still be around in five years to support your system?

If you can’t answer “yes” to those, it’s worth pausing. A good solar installer gives realistic expectations and a system that works long after the scaffolding’s gone.
