Here are some photo’s of a recent install near Colchester. It’s on a slate roof and slate can be tricky if it’s old – great care has to be taken to avoid damage to tiles. We use a system where the panels are fixed through the slates so they don’t have to be lifted or otherwise disturbed.

These pictures are also good at showing the bird control measures we have installed – plastic fingers around the sides of the panels prevent pigeons or other birds from nesting underneath the panels.
