Roof Solar Panel Installation in Cathays
Cathays is one of Cardiff's most densely populated areas, with a high concentration of Victorian terraced homes. GL Solar has extensive experience working on these classic Cardiff properties, using specialist slate hooks that allow solar panels to be installed on Welsh slate roofs without removing slates or compromising the roof's integrity.
Cathays terraces typically have south or south-west facing rear roofs that are ideal for solar panels. Our team understands the specific challenges of working on Victorian terraces in Cathays — including limited access, Welsh slate roofs, and the need for neat, unobtrusive installations that don't detract from the area's character.
A typical 3–4kW roof solar system on a Cathays terrace will generate 2,500–3,400 kWh per year, saving £500–£700 annually on energy bills. For Cathays homeowners and landlords, solar panels offer an excellent return on investment and can significantly improve the EPC rating of a property.
