For NSW townhouses
Smaller roofs. Bigger questions.
Townhouse roofs come with quirks, shared walls, complex angles, and sometimes a body corporate. Most still fit comfortably with 4–6 kW. Here's how to check yours.
What we look at on a townhouse roof.
Usable roof area
4–6 kW typically fits on a townhouse without crowding penetrations.
Party-wall + access
Installers need scaffolding access; we flag this in the check.
Is the roof yours or common property?
If it's common property in a strata, you'll need committee sign-off (we cover this).
Hot-water + cooling load
Smaller homes often see better payback because solar offsets a higher % of bill.
Shading from neighbours' trees
We check the year-round shade pattern, not just today.
Duplex or small strata?
If you share walls with one or two neighbours, the maths is usually closer to a freestanding house than a full strata building. Start the check, and we'll flag the right path.
