Will solar panels work on a hip roof in the UK? In this video, I’ll show you exactly how solar panels can be installed on a 1930s bungalow with a classic UK-style hip roof — and whether it’s actually worth it.

As an architect, I’ve redesigned many homes with hipped roofs across the UK, and clients often ask if these roofs are suitable for solar panels. The answer might surprise you.

Using the free@est.energywise online tool (created by Energy Saving Trust), I’ll show you:

What the installation costs are
How much money the panels could save annually
How a home’s EPC rating can improve

If your home has a hip roof and you’re consideringsolar panels, this video breaks down everything you need to know using real data.
