Solar Panel for Roof
When you look up at your roof, what do you see? Tiles. Gutters. Maybe the odd seagull. But what if you saw something more? What if your roof was a generator — quietly converting sunlight into clean, cost-saving energy for your home or business?
​
That’s exactly what we help you achieve at Optimum Electrics. Since 2011, we’ve been designing and installing solar panels for roofs across the UK, helping property owners cut bills, reduce carbon footprints, and take back control of their energy use.
​
We believe the future of energy isn’t somewhere far away — it’s sitting right above your head.
Why Choose Solar Panels for Your Roof?
Installing solar panels on your roof is one of the smartest investments you can make, both financially and environmentally. The UK may not be known for endless sunshine, but solar technology has advanced so much that even our cloudy skies are enough to make a big difference.
​
Here’s why more homeowners and businesses are switching to solar:
​
-
Lower Energy Bills – Solar panels generate electricity directly from sunlight, meaning you rely less on the grid. With energy prices still unpredictable, this can mean serious savings over time.
-
Sustainable Power – Every kilowatt of solar power you generate cuts down carbon emissions. It’s a simple, tangible way to contribute to a cleaner planet.
-
Government Incentives – From the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) to VAT reductions on energy-saving materials, there are plenty of schemes to make solar even more affordable.
-
Increase Property Value – Homes fitted with solar panels are becoming more desirable. A future buyer sees long-term savings built into the roof — literally.
-
Energy Independence – Pair your solar system with battery storage and you’ll have power even when the sun goes down or the grid goes down.
​
At Optimum Electrics, we don’t just install panels. We create tailored energy systems designed to work perfectly with your roof, your usage, and your future.
Our Expertise — A Decade of Powering the UK
Founded in 2011, Optimum Electrics has grown from a small local firm into a trusted nationwide installer. Our team of qualified electricians and renewable energy specialists has delivered hundreds of solar projects — from cosy family homes to large commercial rooftops.
​
We understand that every roof is different. Flat, pitched, slate, metal or tile — we’ve seen it all. That’s why our engineers carry out a full roof assessment before installation, ensuring the best positioning and angle for maximum efficiency.
​
We also pride ourselves on transparency. You’ll always get a clear, jargon-free proposal that shows exactly what your solar panel system will produce, how long it’ll take to pay for itself, and what savings you can expect year by year.
​
No guesswork. No hidden costs. Just clean, renewable energy designed around you.

No matter your roof type, we’ll find the best and safest way to harness solar power from it.
