Roath is one of Cardiff's most popular areas for solar panel installation, with GL Solar having completed numerous complete home solar systems across the neighbourhood. Roath's predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached homes often feature large south-facing rear roofs that are ideal for solar arrays. We specialise in designing complete solar systems that respect the character of Roath's period properties while maximising energy generation.

A complete home solar system in Roath typically includes 8–14 high-efficiency panels on the rear roof, a smart inverter with monitoring, and an optional 5–10kWh battery. For Roath's terraced homes, we maximise compact roof spaces using high-output 430W+ panels. A typical Roath 3.5kW system generates 3,000–3,400 kWh per year — enough to significantly reduce electricity bills for a typical household. With battery storage, self-consumption rises to 70–80%.

GL Solar understands Roath's unique housing stock — Welsh slate roofs, cast iron gutters, narrow roof spaces and conservation area considerations in parts of the neighbourhood. Our complete home solar systems come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, full DNO handling, and ongoing support from a Cardiff-based team. We've installed solar on more Roath homes than we can count — every type of property, every roof challenge.
