Vine Cottage, Lincolnshire
Vine Cottage in Lincolnshire brings SolarTyle into both the main cottage roof and the adjoining extension. SolarTyle's supplied brief records a 9 kW integrated solar system, with the main south-facing roof used alongside east and west elevations on the extension.
The project shows how several roof directions can contribute to one solar layout while maintaining the appearance of a traditional home. The gallery uses genuine aerial photographs supplied with the project.
Installed capacity and annual generation are different measures. The brief's 9 kW figure describes the system size; annual electricity output would need to be taken from the project's design model or operating records.

Designing solar around the roof
A useful solar layout starts with the building: its roof shape, orientation, shading and suitable installation area. The electrical design and roof specification then need to work together for the individual project.
