We install 16 x 475W solar panels on a slate roof using RenuSol brackets and Genius Speed Flashings, showing the professional way to fit solar without cracking tiles or causing leaks ☀️.

From measuring and finding rafters, to cutting slates safely, fitting rails, routing DC cables with Deck-Tite, making MC4 connections, and finishing with bird proof mesh – we take you through the whole job step by step 🔧. This is real on-site footage from a two-day install with the methods we’ve learned over 7+ years in the trade.
