Frequently asked questions
Are Canton's older terraces structurally OK for solar?
Almost always yes. A panel system adds ~15–25 kg/m² of dead load — well within the design capacity of any UK rafter built to current or historic building regulations. A roof-loading check is part of the installer's standard survey.
